Abstract

A punched card for documentation of hand surgery cases is presented. It takes into account both malformations as well as the results of injuries and diseases of the hand. In addition, it affords an exact registration of the localization according to region and topography. Treatment methods in complications are likewise documented, so that a combined search by needling the corresponding numbers can be carried out easily and exactly. The system proved to be completely adequate, inexpensive and practical in the course of testing over seven years.

[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.
