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.

    there is really no need for this as a public app.

    however it does raise an interesting question.

    we’ve all heard horror stories about forgotten meds, unreadable handwriting, patients with allergies that aren’t uncovered from previous charts until it is almost too late.

    wasn’t there a med school or some such working on using ipod touches and a collection of interconnected databases that could conceivably be connected to hospital records for dealing with these issues.

    I almost never say this when I comment on blogs (and I rarely comment on blogs for that matter), but I can’t help it: Why is this interesting? Interesting apps: sure, post ‘em. Mundane apps with very little popular appeal: why? It almost seems like someone’s getting 20% off their appendectomy for posting this on Cult of Mac.

    Maybe I’m just in a bad mood, but this post struck me as totally unnecessary and partially annoying. I understand that sometimes the pressure of blogging leads to a few pointless posts, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to call you on it.

    I think it has potential. Much better than collecting a case log in a 3 ring binder stored in a cabinet somewhere.
