NAPROS: a semiautomatic user-friendly anaesthetic record system.
NAPROS is a semiautomatic, inexpensive, and easy-to-use anaesthetic record system. It is based on an ACORN (BBC-Model B) microcomputer that is linked to a non-invasive arterial pressure monitor (DIN-AMAP 845a) and an inhalation anaesthetic monitor (Engstroem EMMA) for automatic collection of measured data. The following functions have been implemented: Automatic registration of cardiovascular data and concentration of anaesthetic inhalation agents. Graphical or numerical representation of fluid-balances. Possibility to recall dosage information for drugs and drops. Printing of a final anaesthetic report at the end of anaesthesia. Definite advantages of NAPROS are: The number of hours saved by the computer record over manual data entry is 8 hours. - Better acceptance by users.
