Safety incidents during intrahospital transport of hemodialysis patients in China: a multicenter cross-sectional study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

A survey of 4,253 nurses at large Chinese hospitals, including 418 head nurses, asked what goes wrong when dialysis patients are wheeled between departments inside the hospital. Nurses reported the safety incidents they had seen, sorted using the World Health Organization's classification. This was a one-time snapshot survey, so it shows how often problems get reported, not what causes them. The aim is to build safety standards for moving people who are fragile after dialysis.
