Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) method in strengthening the management of critical value of blood specimens in hospital. Methods According to the procedures of FMEA, critical values management team were established, drew flow chart of generating test specimens and crisis value, explored the potential failure mode and failure cause, analyzed the severity, possibility and critical value, and formulate and implement countermeasures according to the research outcome. Results The crisis value of the failure mode fell from 1 320 to 151 after the implementation of FMEA, and rate of decline was 88.56%; number of unqualified blood samples decreased from 510 cases to 78 cases, and the difference is statistically significant (χ2=407.27, P<0.05);critical value processing defects decreased from 85 cases (a total of 236 cases) to 3 cases (a total of 229 cases), and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=91.26, P<0.05). Conclusions FMEA method is helpful to improve the accuracy and precision of critical value management of clinical blood samples, so as to ensure the safety of patients in hospitals.
