Risk management in acute blood purification therapy

Abstract

In extracorporeal circulation during blood purification therapy, there is the risk of bleeding, etc., due to constant aeration and circuit breaks, and in continuous blood purification therapy, which requires long-term treatment, the risk increases further, so initiatives addressing risk management and safety management are both necessary and important. This time, we launched minor medical-error reporting system including analysis. Comprehensive education of the medical staff on medical safety is essential, and it is important to consider, regardless of how widely this is carried out, whether or not it is merely for form’s sake and without substance.
