**3. Conclusion**

Generally, patients receiving hemodialysis often experience the low health-related quality of life (HRQOL), including pain, fatigue and emotional distress. It is critical, therefore, to ensure patient safety during hemodialysis to prevent morbidity and mortality as a result of iatrogenic complications. In this study, some of the identified common errors during hemodialysis include iatrogenic hypernatremia in hemodialysis, iatrogenic iron overload, iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm, iatrogenic infective endocarditis in chronic hemodialysis patients, iatrogenic cerebral air embolism, and

major bleeding. Continuous monitoring of equipment is essential within hemodialysis services so that measures can be taken to minimize such occurrences. It is also recommended that duly validated protocols that define roles and organize the processes related to patient care are developed, in addition to continuous education for professionals.
