Instrument counts are controversial. Though they are recommended on all procedures by the Association of Operating Room Nurses, the majority of hospitals aren't doing them, according to a survey by OR Manager. What happens if you don't have a policy, an instrument is left in, and the case goes to court? What is the role of professional recommendations? The health care law firm of Horty, Springer & Mattern discusses just such a case.
器械清点存在争议。尽管手术室护士协会建议在所有手术中都进行器械清点，但根据《手术室管理》杂志的一项调查，大多数医院并未这样做。如果你没有相关政策，有器械遗留在患者体内，而案件诉诸法庭，会发生什么情况？专业建议又起到什么作用？医疗保健律师事务所Horty, Springer & Mattern讨论了这样一个案例。
