Recognition: Every Patient

• Perform opening count of all vaginal sponges and record the count in the birth record and in a location visible by all members of the health care team.*

*In the event of a precipitous birth, the initial count should be performed immediately after birth before items on table are disturbed (except items immediately necessary for birth).

Slide 17

Response: To an incorrect closing count

• Conduct recount of used sponges, carefully search room (all drapes, kick buckets, and linens), and explore vagina, paying attention to vaginal fornicies to identify missing sponges.– If missing sponge is located, record correct

closing count in birth record.– If missing sponge remains unaccounted for,

utilize sponge detection system to rule out retained sponge.• If missing sponge is located, record correct closing

count in birth record.• If missing sponge is not located, or in settings where

sponge detection systems are unavailable, record the closing count as incorrect in the birth record and inform the patient of discrepancy in count.
