[NAPROS--a semiautomatic, user-friendly anesthesia protocol system].

NAPROS is a semiautomatic inexpensive and easy to use anaesthetic record system. It is based on an ACORN (BBC-Model B) micro-computer that is linked to an non-invasive arterial pressure monitor (DINAMAP 845a) and an inhalation narcotic monitor (Engstroem EMMA) for automatic collection of the measured data. The following functions have been implemented: automatic registration of cardiovascular data and concentration of narcotic inhalation agents; input of drugs, fluid input or fluid output, laboratory values, events and comments of the anaesthetist; collection of administrative data and data concerning the preoperative state of the patient; graphic or numeric representation of fluid-balances; survey of all or selected drugs that have been administered up to that time; possibility for recalling dosage information for drugs and infusions; parallel printing of all collected data as a preliminary anaesthetic record; printing of a final anaesthetic report at the end of anaesthesia.
