AnestAssist for iPad - iPhone - iPod
Tue 04-Jan-2011
AnestAssist™ PK/PD version 1.8 is available for download and update on the App Store. Main improvements include the ability for users to define and add pediatric and veterinary PK/PD models to the application (i.e. users can specify age and weight limits for custom PK/PD models). Please see the Version History page for details. This is a free upgrade for current owners.
AnestAssist™ 1.8 iPhone and iPad Application
AnestAssist™ PK/PD is an educational tool used for understanding and
visualizing the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and interactions of
commonly used anesthetic drugs.
Anesthesiologists, CRNA's, Veterinarians, and other clinicians involved
with
anesthesiology, from residents to the very experienced, will find
AnestAssist a valuable tool for understanding and designing rational
dosing strategies tailored to individual patients.
Mathematical models published by clinical researchers, which take into
account patient weight, age and gender, are used to estimate and chart:
- Plasma concentration (IV Drugs)
- Alveolar concentration (Inhaled drugs)
- Effect site concentration
- Probability of effect (including interactions):
- Analgesia: No response to laryngoscopy
- Sedation: OAA/S < 2
- NMB: T1/T0=50%
IV drugs modeled: Propofol, Remifentanil, Fentanyl,
Alfentanil, Sufentanil, Dexmedetomidine, Ketamine, Lidocaine,
Midazolam, Morphine, Atracurium, Cisatracurium, Rocuronium, and
Vecuronium
Inhaled agents modeled: Sevoflurane, Isoflurane, Desflurane, Enflurane,
Halothane, and Nitrous Oxide
Interactions modeled: Propofol, Sevoflurane or Isoflurane with any
combination of
Remifentanil,
Fentanyl, Alfentanil, or Sufentanil.
Users can define and add additional drugs and PK/PD models to
the application.
Real-Time Case Capture: Drug entry system facilitates
recording drugs administered real-time or retrospectively from
intra-operative record. Save to Case Library for later review.
Case Library: Save actual cases or design and add your own
cases to the
library to record and
demonstrate dosing strategies for a variety of patient types and drugs.
AnestAssist runs an enhanced user interface full screen natively on the iPad and in standard mode on the iPhone/iPod. The core functionality is the same on both.

"AnestAssist helped me bridge the gap between abstract mathematical textbook training and real world application of PK/PD theory."
"AnestAssist gave me new insight into the guidelines and rules of thumb I've used for years. I like the idea of putting more science into the art of anesthesia."
