[Simple and clinically useful documentation on the vulva using a personal computer].

Abstract

We developed a simple menu driven database on personal computer for classification and documentation of vulvar lesions (IBM-PC, dBaseII). Vulvar lesions were classified according to morphologic appearance: red, white, dark, ulcer, small tumor (less than 1 cm), large tumor. The data for each category are entered in multiple choice form and stored in a separate database file. For each category an automated table of the frequencies of the different diagnoses is provided, individual patients and variables can easily be accessed through the database query language.

[Retained foreign bodies from the view of the OR nurse].

Patient safety in the operating room is of high priority for the surgical team and for all healthcare workers involved. Counting procedures contribute to minimizing potential risks for the patients, especially in preventing them from leaving the operating room with retained, unintended foreign bodies. A total of 64% of operating room nurses involved in a survey are reported as having been involved in a surgical procedure in which the correct count prevented foreign bodies from being left in the patient. In addition, the strengths and potential weak points of the counting procedures could be identified. The results of the survey and drafts for a standard counting control as well as procedural recommendations are presented for discussion. A recommendation can be provided for each surgical department in order to check their own counting methods for avoiding potential risks.
