[A computerized questionnaire to the anaesthetic record (author's transl)]

To the Anaesthetic Record of the Kreiskrankenhaus Donaueschingen a questionnaire was developed and used during te years 1978 and 1979 to compute the yearly reports of the whole anesthesia department as well as for each anesthesia resident. The various anaesthetics and techniques formed the basis of our data retrieval program. The questionnaire allows the computation of the annual reports in a simple and time saving way. Only one punch card is used; the rate of error is small. Since coding can be done by the anaesthesist himself or the nurse anaesthesist, no additional coding personnel is required.
