User Reviews and Ratings
★★★★★Great for the ER
The app gives you exact dosing of RSI drugs given some basic patient info so you don't have to calculate ideal or lean body weight in what is a chaotic situation usually. It also has 45 min of video instruction and the algorithms Dr Walls teaches in the course.
★★☆☆☆Way overpriced
This app has some great features.... That other apps have for $1.99. The RSI app has the same basic info for a Lot less. Nice quality app, the videos are a nice touch( I love the docs doing the cricothyroidotomy in their nice white coats) but WAY OVERPRICED!
★★☆☆☆Very basic
Very basic, not much information, probably ok resource for medical student.
★★★★☆Great App but…
The app is great however it would be nice if I were able to change the dose in the app.
★★★☆☆Incorrect dosing
I had high hopes for this app based on reviews, I like that you it allows you to access the algorithms and mnemonics easily. I was surprised at the choice of doses, especially for rocuronium, which should be dosed by ideal body weight, not total body weight. With that being said, you rarely need more than 100 mg of rocuronium in an rsi situation, and giving more than 100 puts you into a pickle if you have to rapidly reverse with sugammadex.
