How should surgical instruments be managed?

1 Equipment management system

1) The work is institutionalized and standardized, and the equipment room is kept clean and orderly with reasonable intervals. Various specialized instruments are classified and placed in each specialized instrument cabinet. Use labels and color markings to strengthen visual management and warning slogans. Designed with glass cabinet doors for high transparency storage. All items should be placed in a fixed place, clearly marked and marked, and returned to their original place after use. Carry out the storage, maintenance and registration of equipment every week. The professional team leader will organize and return the warehouse once a month. Borrowed items must indicate their whereabouts and be returned promptly to ensure that they are found within 30 seconds if needed urgently.

2) Strictly implement the equipment handover inventory system. The position of surgical instruments should be fixed and placed neatly. According to the frequency of surgical use, instruments should be placed in cabinets and arranged in layers. The signs should be clear and must not be used. Move around at will. All instrument packages contain instrument number cards to facilitate post-operative counting and prevent loss. Surgical instruments are important tools for surgical treatment. Their sterilization effect, sufficient quantity, excellent performance, and complete parts are necessary conditions for ensuring the operation.

3) Strengthen equipment regulations. Valuable equipment must be inspected and verified by two people to prevent loss or damage. At the same time, in order to ensure that the operation can proceed smoothly, the vascular clamps must be checked one by one before packaging to ensure that the vascular clamps are tightly engaged to avoid popping up during the operation and affecting the safety of the patient and the smooth progress of the operation. When packing, the vascular forceps cannot be fully tightened, which will always put the forceps in a state of high tension and lose elasticity for a long time.

4) Develop strict management systems and quality standards. Formulate a disinfection and isolation system, operating room recycling room and washing room work system, job responsibility system, washing room work flow and procedures, operating room regeneration items, medical device recycling, washing process, and washing quality standards. A workflow has been established for contaminated surgical instruments from the recycling window → sorting table → contaminated goods delivery vehicle, clean goods delivery vehicle → clean delivery window → packaging room.

5) Reward and punishment measures have been formulated. Reward and punishment measures can increase the service life of instruments and significantly reduce insufficient preparation and loss of instruments. Complete surgical instruments can indirectly cooperate with doctors to successfully complete each operation. , providing high-quality services to patients and doctors, thereby enabling operating room nurses to develop serious and standardized habits. Lay a solid foundation for efficient management of equipment.
