Usefulness of periodic holding of safety lecture meetings as seen from MRI checklist operation status

Abstract

Absorption accident of an intravenous feeding pole occurred in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) room. In a separate case, an oxygen tank was left on the stretcher going into the MRI room. In order to avoid such accidents, we made a checklist and started an education group session including experience of an experimental adsorption under high magnetic field. The results were checked off on the checklist by the participating hospital employees before and after the session. Periodic training sessions was effective for changing hazard consciousness to MRI examination in our in-hospital staff to safely operate MRI examination. In the future it is thought that continuation of regular holding is indispensable.
