Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern01:29

Assessment of the Gastrointestinal System II: Health Perception Pattern

566
Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

Apical-Radial (A-R) Pulse Assessment
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Medical Informatics
  • Patient Assessment

Background:

  • Routine preoperative assessment (POA) is standard practice, often relying on unvalidated paper forms.
  • Electronic questionnaires offer a more reliable method for data collection in POA.
  • A novel computerized tool, the electronic Personal Assessment Questionnaire (ePAQ), was developed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new electronic instrument for preoperative assessment.
  • To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of the ePAQ for patient data collection.

Main Methods:

  • Content and face validity assessed in 30 patients.
  • Reliability and scoring algorithms for BMI and ASA physical status evaluated in 300 patients.
  • Test-retest analysis, patient value/burden, accuracy, and inter-rater agreement were assessed.

Main Results:

  • 99% of patients found ePAQ easy to complete; 98% would use it again.
  • ePAQ-assigned ASA grades were more accurate than nurse-assigned grades.
  • Self-reported BMI classification was accurate in 78% of patients.

Conclusions:

  • The ePAQ is an acceptable and reliable tool for preoperative assessment.
  • ePAQ's scoring systems for ASA and BMI are comparable to clinician assessments.
  • Electronic data collection via ePAQ enhances the POA process.
