Medical Research Breakthroughs and Surgical errors/complications

Surgery gone wrong!: There are more than 15 million surgeries happening in the US in one year and what makes things worse is about 1500 people will be leaving the operating room this year with a surgical instrument left in their body! Sometimes it causes no harm but in most cases the consequences are deadly. Sponges and instruments can get left behind because most of the time they are covered in blood and are hard to spot. Hospital staff sometimes miscount- easy to do when in an emergency situation seconds count. Hence researchers have found a way to keep track of the sponges and instruments by the latest technology called radiofrequency i-d tags. In a new study doctors attached the new i-d tags to the sponges and the instruments and then waved a wand over the abdomen after the surgery is done, 100 percent of the time it alerted the doctor if a sponge was left behind.
