Abstract:
We have developed computer software to store data on all anesthetics administered by our department. Our residents transcribe data from the anesthetic records into the computer file, which is then available for producing monthly reports of method, agent, age, and duration statistics. Also another back up floppy disk is made for yearly statistics. Capacity of a floppy disk is 3000 cases of records in a month and 30000 cases in a year. It imposes little additional workload on our clinical personnel, who use simple codes to cumulation and analyze anesthetic records monthly with emphasis on minimal cost, accuracy of data and economy of time.
