iAnesthesia App Takes the Pain out of Putting You Under
Developed by two anesthesiologists, this iPhone app helps log cases, keeping track of who has gone under for what in the operating room.
Some functions include:
– Record a new anesthesia case log on the fly, even if you don’t have a wireless connection (your iPhone will sync data to the CaseLogs server once it regains connectivity).
– Browse Case Log History to quickly find a patient record and open the entry for easy editing (your anesthesia records are organized chronologically).
Launched a couple of months ago, iAnesthesia:Case Logs reviews are generally favorable, it seems that the app (view demo here) helps get rid of manual methods like collecting stickers to log patient procedures but has been criticized for omitting a field for patient names over privacy concerns.
Costs $19.99, available on iTunes.
