One of four operating errors caused by technology

One of four operating errors caused by technology - Technology or equipment that is used is the cause of one of the four errors that occur in the operating room, according to new research.

Even the more complex type of surgery performed, the higher the risk of errors that occurred. For example, open-heart surgery.

But actually there are ways you can do to reduce the risk of such errors, ie by checking equipment to be worn, introducing equipment carefully, and conduct training programs for medical actors in the operating room.

"Checking back before the operation is important to avoid mistakes," said the researcher, as quoted from Live Science.

Based on these studies, there are at least three things that could be classified in errors during the operation. First, the lack of equipment operation, the second is an error setting the operating equipment, and the third is operating equipment damage.

"The high use of technology when performing operations means increasing the complexity of the operation as well as the risk of making mistakes," researchers wrote in the journal BMJ Quality & Safety.

Previous studies also have shown that medical errors (either in operation or maintenance kesehatan_ affects 13-16 percent of the patient's condition.
