Abstract

Abstract Under normal operation, electronic systems and equipment emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs) at predefined levels. These fields can pose safety risks by inducing currents in conductive components and causing polarization effects on insulators, potentially affecting biological tissue at both cellular and molecular levels. In this study, we used the Narda SRM-3006 magnetic field surveillance equipment to analyse the spatial distribution of magnetic fields in operating rooms and address electromagnetic interference (EMI) concerns. We detailed specific methods for measuring and analysing magnetic fields in hospital operating blocks, including a technique for representing spatial distribution with minimal measurements. Additionally, we aimed to conduct a survey to assess hospital staff’s awareness of EMI-related safety hazards. The results of the measurements will assist us in developing best practice guidelines for the use and positioning of equipment and personnel in the operating room to prevent potential accidents.
