[0002] The purpose of surgical item inventory is to provide surgical medical staff with operational specifications for the inventory of surgical items to prevent items from being left behind and ensure the safety of surgical patients. Before counting the items, the circulating nurse should thoroughly clean the wound gauze, bandages, and gauze and gauze balls used for anesthesia and disinfection brought into the operating room with the patient. Before the operation begins, the hand-washing nurse, the second assistant, and the circulating nurse jointly count the number of instruments, instruments, gauze, gauze pads, thread rolls, etc., twice each time; the circulating nurse will record the numbers accurately for future reference; the type and number of gauze and drainage materials inserted into the wound should be recorded in detail on the nursing record sheet; before closing the body cavity and deep wounds, the hand-washing nurse and the circulating nurse should count the instruments, gauze, gauze pads, suture needles, thread rolls, etc. and verify them with the preoperative number before suturing; count again after closing the body cavity.

[0003] In summary, the current gauze counting process in the operating room has the following technical problems: the existing instrument surgery gauze counting process requires manual counting, and the amount used is large and the usage is cumbersome. In order to avoid counting errors, multiple medical staff are often required to confirm multiple times.
