What is a surgical fungus?
Surgical sponge is a specialized sponge or pad used in surgery. Also as a Lap mushroom, a surgical fungus is used to absorb liquids from the surgical site. It can be used in combination with suction to make a surgical place clean, a surgeon that works to check the bleeding and in many other applications. Like other things used in surgery, surgical mushrooms are designed to be sterile; They come in their own sterile packaging and can be safely autoclaved. Generally, one -off and discarded after surgery in biohzard containers that hold other one -time surgical tools and equipment.
Surgical fungus carries a legendary condition among people who fear that objects are left inside the patients during the operation. In fact, the surgical sponge has such a lengthy medical history ending on the wrong side of the stitches after surgery that there is even a special term for a situation where a surgical fungus is left inside the patient: GOSPYpiboma. Surgical Sponges will remain behind for various reasons, from a small size that allows some sponges to slip into a hidden area to an emergency situation that surgeon and surgery may more fears that the patient gets into surgery than anything else.
There are several techniques that can be used to control surgical fungus to reduce the risk of leaving the patient. The simplest includes counting all sponges and tools, sometimes with the help of a barcode scanner. In this case, everything is counted or scanned before the operation and then calculated or scanned. This allows the surgical team to immediately identify missing tools and mushrooms.
Many manufacturers have inserted a belt of radius material into every surgical fungus they produce. This means that if a fungus is left in the body we can be a USEED X -ray machine for IDENtification of the mushroom and determination of the location so that it can be removed. However, this system is not reliable because sometimes the stripe can be hidden behind a structure such as bones, causing the fungus effectively invisible.
Other technologies designed to prevent the dreaded retained surgical fungus involves adding RFID to each mushroom. The brand can alert the surgical team when a fungus is left inside the patient and can also be used when mushrooms and tools are calculated after the procedure.
