Introduction: Preoperative assessment is fundamental in perioperative medicine, as inadequate evaluation and insufficient patient preparation can increase the risk of anesthetic complications. In Colombia, there are currently no interoperable preoperative clinical information systems that integrate cognitive aids support for decision-making. Objective: The objective this project was to develop a functional prototype an application integrates estimation entering electronic medical record...
Abstract Objectives Journals in languages other than English that publish original clinical research are often not well covered the main biomedical databases and therefore included systematic reviews. This study aimed to identify Spanish language journals from Spain Latin America describe their features. Methods were identified electronic databases, publishers' catalogues local registries. Eligibility was determined by assessing data these sources or journals' websites, when available....

 Introduction:
 Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an acute syndrome triggered by certain anesthetic medications. Dantrolene the only specific treatment for MH crises. Without treatment, lethality may be as high 80%. In Colombia, it not mandatory to keep dantrolene supplies in stock.
 Objective:
 To establish cost-benefit ratio, from perspective of healthcare institutions, keeping stock operating theater.
 Methods:
 Using a decision tree, Monte Carlo simulation was...
