Acoustic transformation of the operating room

Case Study: Hradec Eye Sanatorium – Replacement of Ceiling Panels in the Operating Room with Acoustic Ceilings.

In healthcare facilities, it is customary to use hard, washable, and disinfectable materials that reflect all sound waves, causing excessive noise in the rooms. Foreign studies confirm that doctors who worked in acoustically modified rooms experienced more effective communication, less stress, and a lower risk of errors*.

How can all requirements such as washability, disinfection, and acoustics be combined to prevent sound reflection and the creation of unpleasant echoes, which can lead to misunderstandings and fatigue? Are there actually acoustic panels that can withstand daily demanding maintenance and strict hygienic requirements? The case study from Hradec Eye Sanatorium shows that it is possible to create an acoustically friendly environment even in the intervention room, which is appreciated primarily by the staff.
