Computer-assisted self-assessment in anaesthesia: a preliminary study.

Abstract

Fifty-six anaesthetists participated in a trial of the use of microcomputers for self-assessment. Ninety-three per cent of the anaesthetists found the concept of computer-assisted self-assessment acceptable. The only significant difference in the scores achieved by different groups was found with a specialised intensive care program in which senior registrars had a higher average score than older consultants.
