Adverse events related to medical errors are common worldwide and largely unreported. However, they represent a serious problem within the health care community, resulting in avoidable loss of life and/or extremely high costs. Likewise, errors in transfusion medicine, which most frequently involve misidentification of the patient, not rarely may have life-threatening consequences. In this review, the errors related to blood transfusion are briefly summarized along with new technologies developed for improving blood safety.
与医疗差错相关的不良事件在全球范围内很常见，但大多未被报告。然而，它们是医疗保健界的一个严重问题，导致本可避免的生命损失和/或极高的成本。同样，输血医学中的错误，最常见的是患者身份识别错误，可能会导致危及生命的后果。在这篇综述中，简要总结了与输血相关的错误，并介绍了为提高血液安全性而开发的新技术。
