Abstract:
Referring to blood transfusion ANAES guidelines, the authors designed an application running on palm-held computer (Psion 5mx) devoted to optimise bedside transfusion prescription, which can offer both integration of usual calculations concerning red blood cells needs, O2 arterial delivery (40 Ko) and guidelines full text in a compact data base format (190 Ko).
