Abstract
For automated record keeping of syringe pump operations with the intravenous anesthetic to anesthesia information management system (AIMS), we investigated its five needs for users from ergonomic view point. Those five needs include (1) automatic bolus recognition, (2) automatic tracking of the dosage units or configuration changes, (3) un-anticipated communication hardware trouble (ex. communication cable removal, etc.), (4) wireless connection, (5) automatic billing calculation for drug. Each was subjected to precisions evaluation or surveys verification. For (1), maximum error of bolus regardless of the various conditions for Remifentanil is ± 10μg, not malfunction in (2) (3), wireless connection (4) is desirable among users in the surveys verification, For (5), billing of Propofol, it was found to result in a high concordance rate of payout ratio 0.999, introduced by pharmacodynamics algorithm, if it is installed on the AIMS. We conclude that usability of the automatic recording comparable to inhalation anesthesia has been found possible to intravenous anesthesia with ergonomic considerations of five user needs.
