A modification to a computer based system of audit, widely used in anaesthesia for general surgery, is described, which permits a more detailed analysis of obstetric anaesthetic workload. By adjusting entries, in the operation input field, further information can be collected automatically. ⋯ It identifies the total number of caesarean sections, including anaesthetic technique and whether an epidural catheter was, in any case, present. This modification may be applicable to other computerised audit systems.
