The purpose of this report is to develop a rational approach to the design of anaesthesia record forms. The history of anaesthesia record forms was reviewed. A logical approach to the design of an anaesthesia record was developed. The theoretical ideal anaesthetic record was contemplated and criteria were developed for the selection of items to be included in or excluded from the record. Principles were outlined which lead to logical organization of information on the form, improved ergonomics of data entry, and ready access to entered information. A desktop publishing system was used to execute quickly numerous form artwork revision cycles and iteratively converge on a complete design. This approach has resulted in the development and production of a new anaesthesia record for our institution. The record was well accepted by our colleagues. The rationale that has been developed is presented in the hope that it will be useful to others in the process of designing anaesthesia records for their institutions.
