I am having problems in the use of "Schleuse" in the following context. There are many meanings for this word so not sure how to translate it. The following is from a German medical report from knee arthroscopy. It is the very last sentence of the surgery report:
"Nach Extubation Übergabe an der Schleuse an das für den Aufwachraum verantwortliche Anästhesie-Team"
Thanks!

In this case "Schleuse" refers to the transfer from "unclean" patient bed to the "clean" OR Table and vice versa (before the patient is moved to the recovery room).
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.

This is what it looks like: http://tiny.cc/i28lhx
(I actually believe the term "sluice" used by the authors of this book is Germanic rather than proper English.)

This is another image showing that a Patientenschleuse is a device rather than a room, and can be implemented also as a transfer window: http://www.admi.de/prod10.htm.

This company calls it a transfer unit - probably more appropriate than "transfer area", based on the above: http://www.maquet.com/content/SurgicalWorkplaces/Documents/B...

: Note: your URL refers to the English translation of the original German book by the same authors: "Lagerungstechniken im Operationsbreich". "Sluice is a dead give-away, I am afraid. And both authors (plus all contributors) are native German speakers.
