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.
The Face Mask: The Unsung Hero of Airway Management
This post will delve into the anatomy, types, and techniques for using both adult and pediatric face masks, transforming this simple tool from a piece of plastic into an extension of the anesthesiologist’s hands.
Trauma with Full Stomach
A 25-year-old male involved in a motor vehicle accident requires emergency laparotomy for suspected splenic injury. The patient ate a full meal 1 hour before the accident. Cervical spine precautions are necessary.
Obstetric Emergency
A 32-year-old pregnant patient at 38 weeks gestation presents for emergency cesarean section due to fetal distress. She has pre-eclampsia with BP 168/110 mmHg and proteinuria. Rapid sequence induction required.
Pediatric Airway Management
A 3-year-old child with recurrent croup presents for adenotonsillectomy. The child has a history of difficult intubation during previous anesthesia. Parents report occasional stridor during sleep and upper respiratory infections.
Cardiac Patient for Non-Cardiac Surgery
A 68-year-old male with ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy. He has a history of myocardial infarction 2 years ago and takes multiple cardiac medications.
Xenon: The Noble Anesthetic Agent
Xenon is an anesthetic agent that stands out for its unique properties. This noble gas has gained attention in recent years as an ideal anesthetic with remarkable pharmacological properties.
TIVA – Total Intravenous Anesthesia
TIVA uses IV agents (propofol + remifentanil) for anesthesia without inhalational gases. Regimens: Propofol (TCI 2–6 mcg/mL or 100–200 mcg/kg/min) + remifentanil (TCI 2–6 ng/mL or 0.05–0.3 mcg/kg/min). Monitoring: BIS (40–60) ensures depth. Ideal for MH risk, PONV-prone patients, or neurosurgery. Enables precise titration and rapid emergence.
Complications of Spinal Anesthesia
While spinal anesthesia is generally safe, complications can occur. This comprehensive guide covers prevention strategies, early recognition
