AnestAssist™ PK/PD version 1.4 is now available for download and update on the App Store. This release adds many PK models and drugs including dexmedetomidine, ketamine, lidocaine, midazolam and morphine. Isoflurane-opioid interation effect probability model added. Drug entry and viewing workflow is improved. Additional units supported: mg/hr, mg/min, mcg/hr, mcg/min, and mg/kg/hr. PK model used information displayed. Additional drug modeling and display configuration options. This is a free upgrade for current owners.
AnestAssist™ 1.4 iPhone 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 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
IV drugs modeled: Propofol, Remifentanil, Fentanyl,
Alfentanil, Sufentanil, Dexmedetomidine, Ketamine, Lidocaine, Midazolam and Morphine
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.
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 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."
