The hybrid car has an internal combustion engine as well as an electric motor with an energy storage device. In numerous other technologies "from clock to hard drive", this term also describes the pooling of several positive features for the benefit of the user. In the case of the hybrid operating theater, patients are the ones who benefit most, followed by physicians and hospitals.
Rastatt, Germany - October 2010 - “You must not fool yourself – this is a big project in need of a lot of coordination”, describes Andreas Lauinger, technical director and authorized signatory for the Heart Surgery Clinic in Karlsruhe, his experience with the construction of the local hybrid OR.

This impression of being “right at the heart of things rather than just a spectator” is achieved with the second main theme, lung therapies, thanks to the use of breathing sounds.
