Published - Data Science and its Application in Anaesthesiology

Abstract

Electronic health records have resulted in improvement in all aspects of health care. Anaesthesia Information Management System is a specialized form of electronic health record system that records the events taking place during the perioperative phase such as procedures, physiologic changes and medications administration. Based on anaesthetic data many databases have been developed internationally for quality improvement in anaesthesiology and to know the research outcomes. At an individual clinical level, big anaesthesia data is not yet present, unless waveforms and continuous numerical data of intraoperative physiologic variables is recorded. Though the initiative for big data has taken up by some health care institutions in the health data management but our country is still far behind in this field.
