The effect continuous blood gas monitors and computerized perfusion documentation systems have on the performance and reproduction of clinical events during cardiopulmonary bypass was studied. Patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass procedures were randomly placed into three classifications. Group one received no continuous monitors and manual documentation. Group two had continuous monitoring and manual documentation. Group three has continuous monitoring and computerized case documentation. The implementation of computerized monitoring and documentation systems reduces the number of events outside of desired physiological limits and improves the ability to re-create clinical events.
Key words: Quality assurance / safety / continuous in-line monitors / computers / computerized record management
