[Otorhinolaryngological consultation material in PDA: SEORL-PDA].
OBJECTIVE
Occasionally, the Otolaryngologist needs to accede quickly to medical information in order to retrieve data or to solve doubts. In this way, it seems to be of interest to design a clinical guide that could be consulted as a PDA program (Pocket PC and Palm versions), in a personal computer or Internet.


METHODS
Clinical contents of protocols, guides, and articles, preferably based on the evidence and the clinical experience of 102 authors. Implementation of a program that allows the guide to be used in a PDA, to update it or to add notes using tools that could be downloaded from a web page.


RESULTS
A clinical practice guide SEORL-PDA version 1.1, with thirteen ENT's topics, calculation algorithms, internal links and possibility of update the content and to add notes.


CONCLUSIONS
SEORL-PDA is a clinical guide in PDA format, with enough information and possibilities. Its downloading and installation is easily done following the instructions of the web created with these purposes.
