In recent years, with the economic development of Chengdu, many outsiders came to Chengdu to fight, settle, so there are many problems, including medical error is the explanation of what is the focus of people's attention, small editorial content, welcome to read, I hope that these contents are helpful to you. First, the concept of medical error refers to the process of diagnosis and treatment and care, medical personnel are indeed negligent, but after timely correction did not cause serious consequences to the patient or did not cause any consequences of medical disputes. According to the provisions of the Measures, the consequences of medical malpractice must reach a certain degree of severity, such as crippling, disability, tissue and organ damage resulting in dysfunction, for the degree of medical negligence does not reach the accident, should be recognized as a medical error. In other words, the characteristics of medical error and medical malpractice are basically the same, and the only difference between the two is the difference in the degree of damage. Classification 1. General error. General error refers to the error that does not cause any consequence to the patient. For example, a nurse in the treatment of bed A of 800,000 units of penicillin to bed B patients injected, while bed B of 80,000 units of gentamicin to bed A patients injected, there is a cross-treatment error. The injection was promptly detected, immediately reported to the doctor, all preparations for emergency resuscitation were made, and the medical staff stood by the side of the patient in bed B. It happened that the patient in bed B was not allergic to penicillin, and after a false alarm, the patient was safe and sound. In this case, although the patient did not have adverse consequences, but the nurse's cross-treatment error that is extremely serious, which is not comply with the rules and regulations, the work of irresponsible caused by the constitute general medical error. In the general medical error refers to the process of diagnosis and treatment, due to the negligence of medical personnel, the occurrence of a general error, but the responsible person can be factual and timely report and deal with, the patient did not cause harm, without any adverse consequences. For example, a nurse in the morning treatment, mistakenly bed A of 800,000 units of aqueous penicillin mistakenly injected to bed B patients, while bed B of 80,000 units of gentamicin mistakenly injected to bed A patients, resulting in cross-treatment errors, medication hand found the error, emergency report to the physician, and immediately pushed the emergency vehicle, guarding the bedside of Patient B, after observation, coincided with the Patient B for the penicillin allergic reaction negative, did not cause any adverse effects. In terms of nursing technique, this cross-injection of drugs is caused by the nursing staff due to inattentiveness or lack of responsibility, just did not cause any adverse effects to the patient, so it belongs to the general medical error. If patient B is allergic to penicillin, the consequences will be unimaginable, and this case does not belong to the category of medical error. The key to distinguish between serious medical errors and general medical errors is the impact on the patient's physical health, resulting in a certain impact of the serious medical errors, did not cause the impact of the general medical errors. 2. Serious error. Serious error refers to the error that medical negligence has caused certain adverse consequences to the patient. Consequences can be manifested in various ways, such as increasing pain, prolonging treatment time, expanding economic expenditure, leaving surgical scars, discomfort symptoms, mild complications or sequelae. For example, a midwife in the obstetrics department of a hospital, when giving birth to a woman, due to poor business skills and lack of clinical experience, although the woman showed a series of more obvious aura of uterine rupture, the midwife still did not think of the possibility of uterine rupture, and did not take appropriate measures, as a result, the patient's uterus ruptured. The patient's uterus ruptured. Fortunately, the doctor found the rupture in time, and after emergency surgery, the rupture was sutured, and the patient's mother and child were safe, without serious consequences. In this case, the midwife had a technical error, but after the superior doctor to make up for it, did not cause serious damage to the patient, but only increased the pain, prolonged the treatment time, belongs to the serious medical error. In the serious medical errors in the diagnosis and treatment of patients in the process, indeed due to the technical level is not high or technical equipment is not enough, the occurrence of misdiagnosis, delayed treatment time, to the patient's treatment caused by a certain degree of influence, but did not hinder the adverse consequences of the person; or medical negligence, but was found in a timely manner, timely treatment did not cause the consequences of the work of the medical staff, however, it is also a kind of serious errors. For example, in the obstetrics and gynecology work, really because the patient's condition is complex or accompanied by serious comorbidities, the medical staff really due to the technical level of the limitations and lack of clinical experience, the aura of uterine rupture did not find, and thus the uterine rupture, the timely rescue, the patient recovered well, did not cause serious consequences, is a serious medical error.
