Implementation of a Computer-based Questionnaire for Preoperative Evaluation in Anesthesia Ambulance

June 21, 2018 updated by: Claudia Spies, Charite University, Berlin, Germany
Preanesthetic evaluation is a clinical assessment process with purpose of increased patient safety. One focus is review of patient medical history to reduce perioperative morbidity and mortality as well as optimize the daily process in at anesthesia ambulance. The aim of that study is the development and implementation of a practical computer-based individualized and risk-adapted questionnaire for the daily routine

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The study was a step-by-step process. In the first investigation in 2013 the investigators included 50 patients and 81 patients in 2016. Questionnaires were identical in both testing stages for comparability. Practicability of a computer-based questionnaire on patient medical history, diagnosis as well as behavior guidelines was tested at anesthesia ambulance. Moreover, the investigators evaluated the user satisfaction with the help of a separate anonym paper-based questionnaire in 2013 as well as in 2016.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Utilization of computer-based questionnaire measured by duration time
Time Frame: Time in the outpatient clinic of anesthesia, an average of 1 hour
Time in the outpatient clinic of anesthesia, an average of 1 hour
Number of assistance during filling-out in depending of age
Time Frame: Time in the outpatient clinic of anesthesia, an average of 1 hour
Time in the outpatient clinic of anesthesia, an average of 1 hour

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
