Abstract:
From April 1, 2002 through March 31, 2003, 158 accident reports were submitted from 35 staffers of the nutrient Department in Showa Hospital. We analysed the causes of accidents with the aim of preventing future accidents. It was found 90 cases were attributable to errors in paperwork (57%), 56 cases dul to waiting errors (35%), eight cases to foreign body contamination (5%), and four cases to other resons (3%). Most accidents occurred by lack of confirmation, and it seemed that thoroughness of affirmation such as repetitive affirmation by a plural number of staffers prevent accidents. We should feed back both contents and causes of these accidents to all the employees, and should make a new guideline for accident prevention.
