No Sponge Left, Doctor
Tuesday, July 18, 2006
Some doctors at Stanford University School of Medicine conducted an RFID trial on eight patients undergoing surgery in the Stanford University Medical Center.
Using a handheld RFID reader to detect surgical gauze sponges, they have successfully detected 28 RFID-tagged sponges put in eight patients within one minute.
Despite of the result, they also acknowledge that the possibility of human error and retained sponges remains because the RFID scanning can be performed incorrectly.
Their work is published in The Archives of Surgery vol. 141 no. 7, July 2006.
