Extract

In Emergency Medicine the need for information is vital.

Our experience is mainly concentrated in the use of computers in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), the Laboratory and the Anti-Poison Center. We have gained experience with several different types of computers: Personal computers, interfaced with analytical instruments and equipped for graphic representation, have been used in the ICU and the Laboratory. In the Anti-Poison Center terminals connected to a main frame with virtually an unlimited memory and capacity allows the storage of a large amount of data and the performance of complex permutations.
