[Reasons residents choose to specialize in anesthesiology and postoperative critical care in the autonomous community of Madrid].
Our main objective was to determine the reasons why residents chose to specialize in anesthesiology and postoperative critical care in the autonomous community of Madrid. We also wished to know if prior contact with this specialty influenced their choice, if those who chose it as a second specialization differed from those who were doing a first residency, what expectations the residents had and if they had been met, and if they were satisfied with their training. ⋯ The specialty's mix of theoretical and practical content and the chance to perform techniques and provide critical care are the features the residents find most attractive. Residents who already have another specialty are less satisfied and their expectations are not as well met.

[Evaluation of a new computerized recording system for preoperative assessment data].
Little information is available on the use of computerized systems in preanesthetic assessment. Our aim was to evaluate staff acceptance of a computerized system for the structured recording of preoperative assessment data in our hospital. The time taken to complete the assessment was compared to the time usually taken to record the information on paper. ⋯ In spite of drawbacks such as extra time taken to record electronic data, the users perceived benefits, such as improved quality and accessibility of records. For this reason, the computerized system was well accepted.
