Computer‐assisted self‐assessment in anaesthesia: a preliminary study

Fifty‐six anaesthetists participated in a trial of the use of microcomputers for self‐assessment. Ninety‐three per cent of the anaesthetists found the concept of computer‐assisted self‐assessment acceptable. The only significant difference in the scores achieved by different groups was found with a specialised intensive care program in which senior registrars had a higher average score than older consultants.
