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.
Cricothyrotomy Kit
In the “Can’t Intubate, Can’t Oxygenate” (CICO) scenario, the most feared emergency in anesthesia and critical care, in this dire moment it is the cricothyrotomy kit that transforms from a sterile package into a patient’s only hope.
5-Lead Electrocardiogram (ECG)
While a 12-lead ECG is the gold standard for diagnosing a heart attack, the 5-lead ECG is the workhorse for continuous monitoring. It provides a dynamic, ongoing picture of the heart’s electrical activity, serving as an early warning system for a wide range of potentially life-threatening conditions.
Tracheostomy Tube & Set
A standard tracheostomy tube is a sophisticated device with several key components, each serving a specific function. Outer Cannula, Inner Cannula, Pilot Balloon & Inflation Line, Obturator and 15mm Connector.
Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA)
The Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) is a cornerstone of modern anesthesia, representing one of the most significant advances in airway management since the endotracheal tube.
Stylet & Gum Elastic Bougie: Essential Tools in Airway Management
In the practice of anesthesia, securing a definitive airway through endotracheal intubation is one of the most critical skills. While direct laryngoscopy is the standard technique, anesthesiologists often encounter challenging anatomies that require specialized tools. Among the most fundamental and widely used of these are the stylet and the gum elastic bougie (GEB).
Balanced Anesthesia: The Modern Standard of Care
Balanced Anesthesia is not a specific drug but rather a technique or philosophy that involves the careful combination of multiple anesthetic agents—each with a different primary function—to achieve the optimal state for surgery. The goal is to create a “balanced” state where the patient is safely anesthetized with minimal physiological disruption and side effects.
Inhalational Induction of Anesthesia
Inhalational induction of anesthesia is the process of transitioning a patient from a state of consciousness to unconsciousness solely by having them inhale a volatile anesthetic agent. This method stands in contrast to the more common intravenous (IV) induction, where anesthetic drugs are injected directly into the bloodstream.
A Resident’s Guide to Spinal Anesthesia: From Theory to Practice
Section 1: The Anatomical and Physiological Foundation Spinal anesthesia, or subarachnoid block (SAB), is one of the most fundamental and valuable skills in our armamentarium. It provides excellent, rapid-onset anesthesia for a wide variety of surgical procedures. Mastering it requires a deep understanding of the underlying anatomy, pharmacology, and a…
