Abstract

A medical workstation is contained in an operating room having one or both of a double ceiling and a double floor. The medical devices forming the medical workstation are disposed in the double ceiling or in the double floor, or are distributed so that some are disposed in the double ceiling and some are disposed in the double floor. The devices are thus arranged so as not to present a hinderance to operating personnel in the operating room. A connection unit for the medical devices projects into the operating room from the double ceiling or from the double floor.
