Clinician-built resource designed to help anesthesia providers tailor anesthetic management to the patient’s underlying comorbidities and surgical considerations.
Organized by major clinical systems, the app allows for rapid access to condition-specific anesthesia considerations—whether preparing for a case or managing complex patients in active clinical settings.
The app is structured by major organ systems and disease categories, providing focused anesthesia guidance across a wide range of conditions:
– Brain / Neuro
Neurologic conditions and their impact on anesthesia management
– Cardiac
Hemodynamic considerations, cardiac pathology, and perioperative risk
– Endocrine
Diabetes, adrenal disorders, thyroid disease, and metabolic implications
– Gastrointestinal
GI disorders affecting anesthesia planning and intraoperative care
– Hematologic Disorders
Coagulopathies, anemia, and blood management considerations
– Liver & Biliary Tract
Hepatic dysfunction and implications for drug metabolism and coagulation
– Pediatrics & OB/GYN
Specialized considerations for pediatric and obstetric populations
– Pulmonary
Respiratory disease management and ventilation strategies
– Renal Diseases
Kidney dysfunction and fluid, electrolyte, and drug considerations
– Congenital Heart Defects
Structural cardiac conditions and tailored anesthesia approaches
The app is built to provide clear, focused guidance that directly applies to clinical practice:
– Organized for rapid navigation by system and condition
– Emphasis on how disease states influence anesthetic planning
– Practical, case-driven considerations rather than general summaries
This is a tool designed to help providers quickly answer the question:
“How does this patient’s condition change my anesthetic plan?”
