Abstract
Intensive care units (ICU) rely on multiple technical resources with extensive use of different medical devices, such as ventilators, vital sign monitors, infusion, and injection pumps. This study explored how ICU nurses approach adverse events related to medical devices in a single tertiary center and identify their level of awareness of the national reporting system for adverse events related to medical devices beside their source for risk information updates. Totally, 297 nurses working in the ICU at King Saud University Medical City completed a survey on medical devices and adverse events reporting and 198 reported experiencing an adverse event related to equipment failure. However, 195 nurses were unaware of an official national reporting system for reporting such events. It is important to develop a framework of safe operation of medical devices based on international standards. This reporting system should include the national patients' safety authorities, and should be anonymous, confidential, and non-punitive.
