Pathological specimen bag Storage errors often occur, which is a significant loss for the operating room. So, what about preventing storage errors in pathological specimen bags? We can start from the following aspects.

&Nbsp;

, Pathological specimen bag Remember to label and package the tissues, lymph nodes, and other specimens taken from the operating room. In addition to tissues and lymph nodes, there are also many small volume specimens that should be preserved more carefully.

&Nbsp;

Secondly, it is strictly prohibited to bring gauze, saline pads, instruments, etc. when sending frozen specimens during surgery. A unified specimen bag should be used for testing. The pathological specimen bag must be approved for preservation. Usually, the soaking preservation method can be used, which involves placing the labeled specimen into a specimen bag and adding fixing solution for preservation. The fixed solution can be 10% formalin solution, with a volume of 5-10 times the volume of the specimen, and sealed for storage.

&Nbsp;

Then, after verifying the accuracy of the surgical specimens, they are placed together with the pathological examination application form in a fixed position in the operating room. After double checking before submission, the specimens are sent for examination by a dedicated person in the operating room, and handover registration is made with the pathology department. The specimens that need to be preserved are the responsibility of the on duty nurse.

&Nbsp;

After comparison, all surgical excised tissues and specimens should be inspected by family members before being sent for examination to avoid misunderstandings or disputes. Special infection specimens should be marked with a red pen to remind pathologists to take self-protection measures and prevent the spread of infectious diseases from causing cross infection within the hospital.

&Nbsp;

During the collection, preservation, and submission of specimens, gentle movements should be taken to avoid throwing, squeezing, rubbing, pinching, and other movements. Maintaining the integrity of cell morphology in the specimen is beneficial for pathologists to make accurate diagnoses by observing the morphological changes of tissue cells.

&Nbsp;

For histological examination of surgical specimens, it is found that more than 5% are previously unknown diseases. Therefore, all surgical specimens should be sent to pathologists for examination, and pathological examination should not be abandoned due to benign lesions.
