Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of surgical article counting, in particular to a surgical article auxiliary counting system. Background Art

[0002] Item inventory is one of the most basic and important daily tasks in the operating room, and is an important measure to prevent items from being left in the body. The operating room instrument nurses and circulating nurses need to strictly implement the "two-person four-time" inventory system, counting each instrument one by one according to the routine instrument preparation list at four time points: before the start of the operation, before closing the hollow organs, before closing the body cavity, and before suturing the skin at the end of the operation. Each instrument must be counted twice by two people, and then manually recorded by the circulating nurse.

[0003] Currently, surgical item inventory must be done four times for each operation. The existing solution is for two nurses to manually observe, count and record, which is labor-intensive and inefficient. In addition, the manual inventory solution requires paper and pen records, and has a low level of informatization. Secondly, due to the large variety of surgical items, manual inventory alone is prone to errors and omissions, which may lead to serious medical accidents, resulting in high pressure on nurses in the inventory work.

[0004] In view of this, an auxiliary inventory system for surgical items is proposed. Utility Model Content
