[Electronic data processing of the patient record for computer-assisted evaluation of pregnancy and labor].
This article describes an EDP-adequate data collection system which can also be used in the conventional way. The relational data base system used is PROFESSIONAL ORACLE, Revision 5.1.; the requisite hardware consists of 3 IBM-AT-compatible personal computers with a main storage comprising 4 MB, system MS/PC-DOS, and a hard disk of at least 20 MB. ⋯ Besides formulating research problems the system automatically prepares the discharge report. By means of statistical analysis a continuous internal quality assessment was realized.

[Seminar: electronic data processing in gynecology and obstetrics].
Several possible procedures were discussed for computerizing clinical research and basic documentation. All approaches were evaluated with regard to available performance and installation effort. Additionally examples for personal computer aided data collection in the field of perinatology, oncology, endocrinology and expert systems were presented.

All types of circulatory shock result in a severe hypotensive state at some stage in their development and virtually all involve an early splanchnic vascular hypoperfusion and a later impairment of cardiac function. One important and consistent feature of circulatory shock is a fundamental insufficiency of microcirculatory flow leading to inadequate perfusion of the somatic cells of many of the important organs of the body. If the cellular hypoxic insult can be limited by fluid therapy with colloids and crystalloids, then the incidence of systemic complications in the post-shock period will also be reduced.
