As the number and diversity of contributions to the medical literature continue to grow at an astronomic rate, vascular surgeons are feeling increasingly frustrated in their efforts to remain current with the latest developments in their specialty. The introduction of powerful, inexpensive microcomputers and "user-friendly" programs for data base management has made it possible to organize large amounts of information for subsequent review. Using such a microcomputer-based system, we developed a practical approach to the storage and retrieval of vascular surgical references, which permits virtually unlimited numbers of articles to be catalogued and quickly retrieved with multiple search parameters. This system has been operational in our Division of Vascular Surgery for nearly a year and currently contains more than 3000 journal articles that are readily available for resident teaching, patient care, and research.
随着医学文献的投稿数量和种类持续以惊人的速度增长，血管外科医生在努力跟上其专业领域最新进展的过程中，愈发感到沮丧。功能强大、价格低廉的微型计算机以及用于数据库管理的“用户友好型”程序的出现，使得整理大量信息以供后续查阅成为可能。利用这样一个基于微型计算机的系统，我们开发出了一种存储和检索血管外科参考文献的实用方法，该方法允许使用多个搜索参数对几乎无限数量的文章进行编目并快速检索。这个系统在我们血管外科已经运行了将近一年，目前包含3000多篇期刊文章，可随时用于住院医师教学、患者护理和研究。
