在病人体内留下手术器械之类的物件会给病人带来巨大痛苦甚至危及生命,也给医院带来人力物力上的巨大负担。但这样的事总是在发生,特别是手术时间很长,手术很复杂的情况下。估计大医院每年会发生2至4起,超过1/3的遗留物是器械(美国有统计称不透射线的海绵纱布占53%,器械43%)。一般在手术开始前都会人工清点手术用品,由两个人来证实,术后再予清点。 It is very painful and even life-threatening for the patient to leave objects such as surgical instruments in the patient’s body, which also brings enormous human and material resources to the hospital. But such things are always happening, especially when the operation time is very long and the operation is complicated. It is estimated that two to four large hospitals will occur each year. Over one-third of the remnants are instruments (the United States said 53% of radio-opaque sponge gauze and 43% of instruments). Generally before the surgery will be manual inventory of surgical supplies, confirmed by two people, and then be counted after surgery.
