Stanford Health Care, IR CT-2 at 300 Pasteur is a new interventional radiology CT room and includes a procedure room, scrub area, equipment room, and a control room shared with previously completed IR CT-1
Stanford Health Care saw an upward trend for interventional procedures which spurred their decision to construct a second Interventional CT (IR CT-2) procedure room to alleviate caseloads to the existing IR CT 1. The user groups identified lessons learned (like heating and humidity controls, communications system, gas tanks transportation) from IR CT-1 that were the driving points for IR CT-2 design.
We added a dedicated Air Handler unit to serve both rooms to protect the procedure rooms from excessive heat. We worked with the users to add more audio and visual (AV) abilities to comply with new Stanford record keeping policy for surgical spaces.
The IR CT-2 procedure room gives the department flexibility when scheduling patient cases and it allows Stanford to meet the growing demands for interventional procedures and accommodate future growth.
