The Incidence of Artifacts in the Anesthesia Information Management System Database.

Completed

• Conditions: Artifacts; Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems
• Interventions: Other: electronic documents; Other: paper-based anesthesia record

• Registration Number: NCT03814941
• Lead Sponsor: Mackay Memorial Hospital

Brief Summary

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

Detailed 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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
electronic documents	electronic documents	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.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
percentage of artifacts	intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)	to evaluate how many percentage of artifacts for each of the included parameters

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
episodes of artifacts	intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)	to find out the average of number of episodes across each artifact
causes of artifacts	intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)	to find out the cause of the artifact and respective percentage
deviating values	intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)	to calculate the number of values deviating from the predefined baseline value
percentage of devotional artifacts	intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record)	to evaluate how many percentage of the deviations are artifacts
