|March 1, 1985
Summary
A new computerized anesthesia reporting system (C.R.A.) enables real-time data collection and retrospective analysis of anesthesia practices. This inexpensive, user-friendly system enhances anesthesia management and research capabilities.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Medical Informatics
- Health Information Systems
Context:
- Traditional anesthesia documentation relies on manual record-keeping.
- Analyzing anesthesia data for research and quality improvement is often complex and time-consuming.
- There is a need for efficient systems to manage and analyze anesthesia records.
Purpose:
- To introduce a microcomputerized system for real-time anesthesia reporting.
- To facilitate multicriteria research on anesthesia performance.
- To create a digital equivalent of the anesthesia report.
Summary:
- The computerized report of anesthesia (C.R.A.) system utilizes a microcomputer, monitor, and printer for real-time data entry.
- Functions include patient identity, history, drug and anesthetic details, administration chronology, parameter monitoring, and incident logging.
- The system supports multicriteria research and C.R.A. editing through a menu-driven interface.
Impact:
- Provides significant storage capacity for anesthesia records.
- Enables retrospective analysis of anesthesia data for improved understanding and practice.
- Offers an inexpensive and user-friendly solution for everyday clinical practice and research.
