Abstract: With the rapid development of assisted reproductive technology(ART), the risks and challenges accompanied cannot be ignored. Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, adnexal torsion, hemorrhage after oocyte retrieval, infection, organ damage, multiple pregnancy, and ectopic pregnancy are the common complications of ART. These complications may adversely affect pregnancy outcomes, having an impact on health-related quality of life or even being life-threatened. Serious concern is warranted in terms of risk factors and safety management of ART. Establishing standardized quality management system to identify risk factors in advance, taking effective prevention measures, identifying anomalies in time and providing individualized treatment will make ART more satisfactory.

Key words: Assisted reproductive technology, Complications, Hazards, Risk and safety management
