The Difficult Airway App App Reviews

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.

The app is great however it would be nice if I were able to change the dose in the app.

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.

Really needs to have an easy to access chart for every medication with mechanisms of action, recommended dose range per kg of weight, common side effects. Just a table which could be accessed for review without having a particular patient in mind. Would use the app much more often and recommend to other physicians/residents who would be more likely to download the app since it would be a single source for all there is to know on intubation. Will change the review if this changes.

Nice app, a little pricy though.

Nice app. It would be nice if we could set the dose as well as the drug. IE; 1 mg/kg of succs as opposed to what this is set at to Taylor to our protocol. And the volume doesn't work at all. I cannot hear any of them talking.

But very short and to the point. Not a whole lot to this app. Just the facts. I purchased two more app's as this was not enough for me to RSI as a newbie.

It works well. It's pretty quick on my iPhone. It says it changes the dose to factor in low bp ect but it would be nice if it told you how much per kg along with the total amount (which is what you get now).

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, not much information, probably ok resource for medical student.
