About

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the incidence of artifacts in the developed AIMS database

Full description

At first, the authors evaluated the accuracy of the traditional, manually completed paper-based documentation, which sets a benchmark for the accuracy that the electronic documentation and database provides.

At the second portion, the investigators used the paper-based documentation as a standard to compare the electronic documentation. The incidence of artifact was double checked by two investigators.

At the third portion, the authors calculated the artifact incidence in the AIMS database, using paper based and electric document anesthesia records as the standard respectively.

Enrollment: 60 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 85 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Trial design

60 participants in 2 patient groups

paper-based anesthesia record

Description:

The AIMS sampled the vital signs from the monitor every minute and stored in the database. The incidence of artifacts in the AIMS database was evaluated by paper-based documented anesthesia record.

Treatment:

Other: paper-based anesthesia record

electronic documents

Description:

The AIMS sampled the vital signs from the monitor every minute and stored in the database. The incidence of artifacts in the AIMS database was evaluated by electric documented anesthesia record.

Treatment:

Other: electronic documents
