Abstract
Introduction: The modern intensive care unit (ICU) is the highest mortality unit in any hospital. The ICU is also one of the sites in which medical errors are most likely to occur because of the complexity of care. Since the patient population is severely ill and undergoes multiple complex interventions at the same time, these patients are extremely vulnerable to experiencing adverse outcomes.
Aim of the Work: The objective of the following essay is to highlight the common medical errors in intensive care units, as well as how to avoid these errors.
Summary: Safety is a global concept that encompasses efficiency, security of care, reactivity of caregivers, and satisfaction of patients and relatives. Patient safety has emerged as a major target for healthcare improvement. Quality assurance is a complex task, and patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are more likely than other hospitalized patients to experience medical errors, due to the complexity of their conditions, need for urgent interventions, and considerable workload fluctuation
