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 (DINAMAP 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 anaeshesia.
