The Incidence of Artifacts in the Anesthesia Information Management System Database.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the incidence of artifacts in the developed AIMS database

Detailed Description
-----------------
At first, the authors evaluated the accuracy of the traditional, manually completed paper-based documentation, which sets a benchmark for the accuracy that the electronic documentation and database provides. At the second portion, the investigators used the paper-based documentation as a standard to compare the electronic documentation. The incidence of artifact was double checked by two investigators. At the third portion, the authors calculated the artifact incidence in the AIMS database, using paper based and electric document anesthesia records as the standard respectively.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| percentage of artifacts | to evaluate how many percentage of artifacts for each of the included parameters | intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record) | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| deviating values | to calculate the number of values deviating from the predefined baseline value | intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record) | 
| percentage of devotional artifacts | to evaluate how many percentage of the deviations are artifacts | intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record) | 
| episodes of artifacts | to find out the average of number of episodes across each artifact | intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record) | 
| causes of artifacts | to find out the cause of the artifact and respective percentage | intraoperative (from the beginning to the end of anesthesia record) |
