Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialComputer aided monitor-data processing (CAMP). A landmark for unbiased gauging of anaesthetic courses?
A computer aided monitor-data processing system (CAMP-System) was developed in order to get a consistent and comprehensive database which can very precisely reflect intra-operative haemodynamic courses. The goal of the present study was to introduce a new method to scan and to gauge haemodynamic courses and to demonstrate its superiority over the traditional way of data processing based on a handwritten anaesthesia protocol. ⋯ Computerized data processing including automatic artifact suppression and data condensation was able to reveal differences in the course of haemodynamic variables that cannot be detected in a conventional handwritten protocol.
