Summary
A new anesthesia ledger was created using the KIRI Ver3 relational database. This user-friendly system simplifies anesthesia record-keeping for healthcare professionals.
Area of Science:
- Anesthesiology
- Database Management
- Health Informatics
Context:
- Developing efficient anesthesia record-keeping systems is crucial for patient safety and data analysis.
- Existing methods may be cumbersome or require specialized programming skills.
- The KIRI Ver3 relational database offers a potential solution for creating adaptable anesthesia ledgers.
Purpose:
- To develop a user-friendly anesthesia ledger using the KIRI Ver3 relational database.
- To streamline the input and management of anesthesia records.
- To create a customizable database applicable across different operative facilities.
Summary:
- A novel anesthesia ledger was constructed utilizing the KIRI Ver3 relational database, incorporating 33 distinct input fields.
- Data entry involves cursor selection for 19 items and keyboard input for 12 items, with patient name requiring text entry.
- The system requires minimal training for computer novices and can be adapted for various surgical settings without programming.
Impact:
- Facilitates easier and more efficient anesthesia record-keeping.
- Enhances data collection for quality improvement and research in anesthesiology.
- Provides a flexible and accessible anesthesia database solution for diverse healthcare environments.
