[Survey of bibliographic facilities offered in departments of anesthesia and intensive care of French univeristy hospitals].

OBJECTIVES: We assessed bibliographic facilities offered in departments of anaesthesia (DA) belonging to university hospitals in metropolitan France.

METHODS: We mailed a questionnaire to the 76 heads of DA belonging to university hospitals in France to assess: a) which journals dealing with anaesthesia, analgesia, and critical care were available, on site, for consultation; b) whether a medical library existed within the institution; and c) whether all bibliographic informations required by any DA collaborators were charged to the institution.

RESULTS: We received 67 replies (87%). High impact factor revues had the widest availability rates--Anesthesiology: 67 DA (100% of responses)--Anesthesia Analgesia: 66 DA (98.5%)--the British Journal of Anaesthesia: 63 DA (94%). The Annales Françaises d'Anesthésie et de Réanimation were available in 66 DA (98.5%). Ten journals in French were variably available--no journal: 1 DA (1.5%)--1 journal: 19 DA (28%)--2 journals: 34 DA (51%),--3 journals: 10 DA (15%)--4 journals: 3 DA (4%). Revues dealing with anaesthesia in specialised surgery were diversely available--neurosurgery: 7 DA (10%)--paediatrics: 10 DA (15%)--obstetrics: 11 DA (16%)--cardiovascular: 26 DA (39%). Revues dealing with pain management, regional anaesthesia or critical care were available in 29 DA (43%), 32 DA (47%), and 59 DA (91%), respectively. The European Journal of Anaesthesiology was available in 40 DA (60%). Thirty-nine DA (58%) took charge of all bibliographic informations required. No medical library existed in 4 university hospitals (6%).

CONCLUSION: DA offers a wide variation in bibliographic facilities in French university hospitals.
