The scope for computerisation in anaesthesia.

R Holland

    Anaesthesia and Intensive Care
    |August 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Computers can enhance anesthesia apparatus functions, aiding record-keeping and staff allocation. Overcoming the perception of computer technology as specialized will accelerate its adoption in anesthesia.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Medical Informatics
    • Health Administration

    Background:

    • Computer technology offers significant potential to augment and streamline anesthetic processes.
    • Current applications include computerized accounting, with logical extensions into data recording and staff management.
    • A key barrier to wider adoption is the perception of computer technology as a niche area requiring expert intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the potential of computer technology to substitute, add to, and enhance the functions of anesthetic apparatus.
    • To highlight the logical extension of current computerization into automated anesthetic record-keeping.
    • To identify administrative applications of computerization in anesthesia, such as staff allocation.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual analysis of existing and potential computer applications in anesthesia.
    • Review of current computerization in accounting and monitoring within anesthetic settings.
    • Discussion of administrative tasks amenable to computer assistance.

    Main Results:

    • Computers can effectively substitute for, supplement, and enhance anesthetic apparatus functions.
    • Automated anesthetic record-keeping via manual input and online monitors is a feasible technological extension.
    • Computerization can optimize administrative functions like theatre and anesthesia staff allocation.

    Conclusions:

    • Computer technology presents a viable pathway to enhance efficiency and functionality within anesthesia.
    • Automated record-keeping and administrative support are key benefits of computerization in anesthesia.
    • Addressing the perception of computer technology as specialized is crucial for its broader implementation in anesthesia.
