[Pocket informatics in anesthesia]
Abstract
A simple, easy to use and inexpensive computerized system could optimize the evaluation of anaesthetic activities. Full processing of information remains our ideal but its difficulties and cost make it hardly possible yet. On the other hand, each anaesthetist can use, for example, a pocket Psion Computer which allows to register 15 items for each anaesthesia. All data are subsequently transferred to a Macintosh central computer. However this activity recording cannot be a substitute for the medical anaesthesia chart which remains essential.
