“…For example, the ASSIST system combines the RFDS technology with bar-coding. In an automated way, all sponges and instruments are electronically logged and tracked in a spatial and time manner to prevent retained surgical foreign bodies [15]. This future technology among many others will hopefully improve patient safety through decreasing the rate of retained surgical foreign bodies.…”

Retained foreign bodies after surgeries or procedures are a rare complication with great consequences. The most commonly retained surgical items are guidewires, surgical sponges, and suture needles. The procedure at highest risk for retained foreign bodies is central venous catheterization. The literature regarding speciic risk factors that increase the potential for retained surgical items varies. Evidence suggests that procedures with blood loss over 500 mL, lack of or an incorrect surgical instrument and sponge count, longer procedures, and unexpected intraoperative events all increase the risk of retained surgical items. There is conlicting evidence on the efect that elevated body mass index (BMI) or the emergent nature of a procedure has on retained surgical item risk. Interventions aimed at preventing retained foreign bodies include surgical counts, mandatory imaging after procedures, bar-coding of items used during surgery, and radiofrequency detection systems. These interventions have varying detection rates. Regardless of the safety measures used, none are perfect and a high index of suspicion must be maintained to prevent retained surgical foreign bodies.

RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) is anticipated to be a core technology that will be used in many practical applications of our life in near future. It has received considerable attention within the healthcare for almost a decade now. The technology's promise to efficiently track hospital supplies, medical equipment, medications and patients is an attractive proposition to the healthcare industry. However, the prospect of wide spread use of RFID tags in the healthcare area has also triggered discussions regarding privacy, particularly because RFID data in transit may easily be intercepted and can be send to track its user (owner). In a nutshell, this technology has not really seen its true potential in healthcare industry since privacy concerns raised by the tag bearers are not properly addressed by existing identification techniques. There are two major types of privacy preservation techniques that are required in an RFID based healthcare system-(1) a privacy preserving authentication protocol is required while sensing RFID tags for different identification and monitoring purposes, and (2) a privacy preserving access control mechanism is required to restrict unauthorized access of private information while providing healthcare services using the tag ID. In this paper, we propose a framework (PriSens-HSAC) that makes an effort to address the above mentioned two privacy issues. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first framework to provide increased privacy in RFID based healthcare systems, using RFID authentication along with access control technique.

“…Penelope can replace instruments that are unused for a given period of time, can predict the next surgical instrument needed, and can monitor instrument use to avoid retained instruments. Voice recognition was included in the robotic scrub nurse developed by Carpintero et al 11 Instruments and their positions are recognized using machine vision techniques. Other works have proposed the use of robotic assistants to replace or complement the surgical tech [12][13][14][22][23] ; nevertheless, Penelope is the only automated management system that also keeps track of surgical instruments used.…”

“…They offer an alternative to the common practice of manual counting, which is prone to mistakes. 11 State-of-the-art technologies replace manual counting through bar-coded management systems 15 or radiofrequency identification. 16 The main drawback of these systems is that they operate as standalone applications, rather than being integrated into a fully automated system for handling, delivery, and monitoring.…”
