Inhalt

The film destined for the information of the staff contains presentation about the risks of fire in operating rooms (real cases from all over the world), the triangle of fire with demonstrations (fire of wood and surgical operation), the dangers in the operating rooms, the means and the manner of extinguishing a fire in an operating room (handling of extinguishers, alarm and detection systems, etc.), the organization of the team and its automatic functioning in the case of fire.
