Anesthesia Clinical Calculators
Clinical decision-making demands precision, speed, and clarity—especially in high-stakes environments like the operating room or ICU. The Clinical Calculators here are designed to streamline complex medical computations, offering evidence-based results in a format that’s both intuitive and educational. Whether you're estimating anesthetic dosing, fluid requirements, or scoring severity indices, each module is built to reinforce clinical reasoning while minimizing cognitive load.Crafted especially for Anesthesia Residents, with a focus on usability and visual clarity, this tool empowers learners and practitioners alike to make informed decisions at the point of care. With integrated references, quick tips, and responsive design, it serves not just as a calculator—but as a teaching companion that bridges theory and practice.
Automated Anesthesia Delivery Systems (“Anesthesia Robots”)
Automated Anesthesia Delivery Systems use a closed-loop to titrate drugs based on real-time patient data like brain activity. This ensures a stable anesthetic state, reduces drug usage, and frees the anesthesiologist to focus on critical decision-making and overall patient safety during surgery.
Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy (GDFT)
Goal-Directed Fluid Therapy (GDFT) is a modern, evidence-based approach that marks a fundamental shift from traditional fluid management. Instead of relying on static, often misleading parameters like central venous pressure (CVP), GDFT uses real-time, dynamic monitoring to personalize fluid delivery for each patient.
Opioid-Sparing and Opioid-Free Anesthesia (OFA)
Opioid-Sparing and Opioid-Free Anesthesia uses a multimodal approach—combining regional blocks and IV medications like ketamine and lidocaine—to minimize opioid use. This strategy reduces side effects like nausea and ileus, leading to faster recovery and less risk of chronic postoperative pain.
Postoperative Delirium and Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction
Postoperative delirium is an acute, fluctuating confusion, while POCD is a more persistent decline in cognition. Both are serious complications, especially in older patients, leading to functional decline and loss of independence. Prevention through proactive, multi-modal care is essential.
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS): A Detailed Overview
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary, evidence-based pathway that minimizes surgical stress. Through coordinated protocols across the perioperative period, it accelerates recovery, reduces complications, and shortens hospital stays, fundamentally improving patient outcomes and experience.
Esmolol
Esmolol is an ultra-short-acting, cardioselective, beta-1 adrenergic receptor antagonist. Its ultra-short duration of action makes it uniquely suited for the dynamic environment of the operating room.
EMLA Cream
EMLA stands for Eutectic Mixture of Local Anesthetics. It is a topical anesthetic used to provide temporary, superficial analgesia of intact skin. Its utility lies in its ability to reduce the pain of needle procedures, making it an invaluable tool, especially in pediatrics and for patients with needle phobia.
Entonox
Entonox is a pre-mixed, colorless, non-flammable gas consisting of 50% nitrous oxide (N₂O) and 50% oxygen (O₂). It is a fundamental and widely used analgesic in many clinical settings, from the emergency department to the delivery suite.
