On the Use of Computers in the Practice of Anaesthesia

Computers are entering every sector of our daily and professional life and they won’t spare Anaesthesiology. Administration, stock-keeping, documentation are already partially done, and, in the very near future, will surely be performed exclusively, by means of computers. Other tasks like medical correspondence and similar secretarial work will be performed by text editor systems, and even our scientific papers will be typed, corrected, edited and printed by such a system. There is no need to discuss those applications in detail because they will follow the extramedical development, and we will have to accept the solutions which are worked out in other disciplines and other sectors of human life.
