Methods： We analyzed an adverse event using cheese model analysis, ＂fish bone＂ analysis, root cause analysis, and other methods. Results： There are three root causes leading to an adverse event： operation technique, assessment of the disease, and informing patient families. However, there are many reasons to promote the occurrence and development of the event. Conclusions： We should analyze and manage the adverse events in patients from the point of view of a system. Developing the measures of a system defense can enhance patient safety and create a good safety culture.展开更多
