Re: count sheets

Hi Joe,

Our count sheets are inside the kit, but the hospital I came from, had them on the outside (which I liked better). Why do you ask?

Re: count sheets

Ours are in a rack on the counter outside the rooms. Sometimes they come with the patient's chart, if they have gone to the holding area.

Ours are tucked in one of the folds of the paper wrapper.

Re: count sheets

Inside, but outside would be better so that the scrub person would never hand the circulator a bloody count sheet from a tray that was opened during the middle of a case.
