“The Count”

• Surgical wound closures have simultaneous counting procedures ongoing during the suturing process often referred to as “The Count”
• “The Count” is the counting of all items used during the procedure including:
• Instruments
• Needles
• Sponges
• & any other items used in the procedure
• Multiple counts of each item occur during each layer of closure
• Frequently, the counts can take minutes each and are best performed without interruption or distraction
• Surgical counts are both a legal and medial portion of the surgical procedure and must be performed accurately to avoid the legal consequences of an incorrect count but ultimately for the health of surgical patients
