Abstract

A total of 248 Orthopaedic Units in the UK were surveyed following two newspaper articles about broken drill bits being retained in patients' bones. Questions were asked about re-use of drills, guide wires and taps, as well as about informing patients when drill bit fragments were left in situ during trauma surgery. The response rate was 79.0%. The majority of hospitals are not using new drill bits for each case nor new guide wires. In the current medicolegal climate, the fact that the majority of consultants are informing patients soon after surgery that a drill bit has fragmented in their bone is applauded.

摘要

在两篇关于断裂钻头残留在患者骨头中的报纸文章发表后，对英国总共248个骨科单元进行了调查。询问了有关钻头、导丝和丝锥再利用的问题，以及在创伤手术中钻头碎片留在原位时是否告知患者的问题。回复率为79.0%。大多数医院并非每例手术都使用新钻头，也不使用新导丝。在当前的医疗法律环境下，大多数会诊医生在手术后不久就告知患者其骨头中的钻头已断裂，这一点值得称赞。
