Abstract
In a collaborative effort to investigate the impact of computer supported and centralized data acquisition and display in anesthesia on the quality of care and on the task performance of the anesthesist, such a system has been designed and this will be described. A total of 32 primary variables can be handled. After data reduction and feature extraction a maximum of 64 derived variables are stored on floppy disk every 15 seconds. A variety of display formats are available showing subsets of all signals on two color displays in numerical or graphical form.
Selecting these subsets and their respective alarm limits is done by means of a standard keyboard using simple statements and is supported by a so called helpfile.
Interventions and other relevant information can be entered using the same keyboard, thus opening the possibility for eliminating manual record keeping.
A standard or special anesthesia record can be generated for accompanying the patient or for documentation.
The different approaches to the evaluation of the system will be described.
It is recognized that coupling of such bedside units both for remote surveillance and for communicating administrative and other not continuously available information, improves the versatility of the system.
