Favorite Anesthesia Apps

[xClashx]

Just starting CA1 year. Any recommendations/reviews of anesthesia apps on IOS?

Wanted to know specifically about MGH clinical anesthesia ($49), anesthesia central vs vargo anesthesia ($99). Just wanted a quick reference for cases / complications / drug dosing / ESRA guidelines.

I found the ASRA app helpful during residency

PediCrisis 2.0

 

[Airway]

Free, Android, useful for the (very) rare occasion I have to think about children.

Anesthesiologist - Apps on Google Play

Designed to calculate adult and pediatric anesthesia information.

Still use asra to look up anticoagulation guidelines.

Echo calc (old and not updated..)

EchoCalc (Donate) - Apps on Google Play

EchoCalc is a medical reference tool for echocardiography

ASRA regional app, everything else is useless.

The iTIVA app is fun to play with, but not clinically that helpful.

 

[okayplayer]

ASRA, agree. Use it all the time.

Asra app

echotools by Rishi Kumar has helped me learn TEE during residency

 

[norski]

COPE for pediatrics, mostly induction dosages, lma/ett sizes etc. At least intuitive enough. Safe local(that's the name) for avoiding LAST is decent, too.

Journal Club. Not free (unfortunately) but the only one I use consistently ALL THE TIME. Also, MDCalc is my other go to. I used Pedi Anesth during my pedi months but I stopped using it after a while.

 

[Beeftenderloin]

ASRA Coags for management of anticoagulation when sticking patients with needles. ANSO for learning to do blocks. Pedi crisis for exactly what it sounds like.

+1 for asra. I also like Vargo. Helpful case tips on it.

I think everybody got the ones I was going to recommend, but I'll chip in:

ASRA: For anticoagulation guidelines. It's like $4 I think.

UpToDate: Obviously, and it includes great pharmacy information

Journal Club: Around $8 I think. Summarizes landmark studies across many disciplines. I found it very helpful and worth buying.

iTIVA: While not necessary, I would highly recommend it, as it's great for teaching you pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of medications, which is a lot about the "art" of anesthesia. Many CA-1s are confused when running propofol for EGDs or other cases where you do general anesthesia without an airway device. Many think of the rate of infusion as the main measure of a patient's anesthesia level without considering how long it's been running or whether there were any loading doses. This will also help with that as well as opioid dosing. It basically works kind of like a targeted controlled infusion device like in other countries so you can learn about what you should be dosing. You target an effect-site concentration (it tells you the ranges in the app) and it guides your dosing. After a while, you'll be better at getting the effects you need without needing the app. It's also free. You just have to wait for an annoying timer to disappear after startup if you don't buy the pro version.

OpioidConverter or something similar is nice to calculate equianalgesic doses

Xodo is a nice PDF and reader app if you're into eBooks

I've heard good things about Vargo, but haven't used it myself.

I was disappointed journal club did not have an anesthesia section.

Same. Unfortunately you need to comb through cards, Crit care, EM, and surgery to find stuff pertinent to us.

 

[bubbleboy123]

Check out Gas Guide it's great

Pedi Anesth. Pedi Crisis

ANSO is an Australian-made app for sono anatomy. I use it all the time for regional cases.

Great app. Really useful for teaching sono-anatomy as well because of the overlay features.
