Hemodynamics and oxygen transport: using your computer to manage data. A user-friendly tool for data calculation, storage, and retrieval.

Abstract

Efficient calculation, storage, and retrieval of hemodynamic and oxygen transport data can be a problem in the clinical setting. A free computer program is now available to calculate commonly used hemodynamic and oxygen transport variables and to provide results in a chart-ready format or in a side-by-side comparison when serial measurements are performed. The program was developed to be easy to use, menu-driven, and usable at various institutions. The program automatically conducts error checking during the simple data entry process as well as during data calculation and retrieval.
