The Sign-Out
Captions available
The idea
The sign-out is the final checklist pause before the patient leaves the operating room, often done during wound closure.
In practice
The team confirms the procedure performed, the final counts, the specimen labels, any equipment problems, and the key concerns for the patient's recovery.
Where people slip
It is done before the surgeon leaves the room, while anything wrong can still be fixed.
