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.

Etomidate

Etomidate is a rapid-onset IV hypnotic for induction (0.2-0.3 mg/kg). Cardiovascularly stable (minimal hemodynamic effects). Causes myoclonus and adrenal suppression (limit use in sepsis/critical illness). Minimal respiratory depression. Preferred for hemodynamically unstable patients.

Divine Debut of Anesthesia?

The scriptures of major religions do not explicitly describe the use of modern anesthesia, as the concept and technology of anesthesia are relatively recent developments in human history. However, there are instances in religious texts that describe states of deep sleep, unconsciousness, or divinely induced trances that could be interpreted…

Anesthesia Techniques

Anesthesiologists employ various techniques and medications to administer anesthesia, tailoring their approach based on the patient’s medical condition, the nature of the surgery, and the desired depth of anesthesia. The primary goal is to induce a state of unconsciousness or analgesia (pain relief) while maintaining physiological stability. Here are some…

Thiopentone Sodium

The drug is a yellowish, hygroscopic powder, stabilized with 6% anhydrous sodium carbonate as a

Commonly Used Drugs in Anesthesia Practice

Anesthesia is a crucial component of modern medicine, enabling surgeons and healthcare providers to perform complex procedures while ensuring the patient’s comfort and safety. Achieving this delicate balance requires the use of various drugs tailored to the individual patient’s needs. Here, we’ll explore some of the most commonly used drugs…

Rocuronium

Rocuronium is a non-depolarizing steroidal muscle relaxant of intermediate duration. However, onset may be rapid or intermediate depending on the injected dose.
