Leave a Review The Difficult Airway App
  • Not up to date

    The course materials have been updated with new algorithms but as of the date of this review the last DAC app update is 9 months ago. The app may have been abandoned by the authors in favor of the course books and physical cards.
  • Needs a chart of medications

    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.

  • No dosing info on VECURONIUM!!!!!

    Had a difficult airway one night. Couldn’t use succinylcholine choline. Only alternative was vecuronium at my hospital institution. App does NOT give dosing info on vecuronium in the algorithm, only gives info on rocuroium. Pharmacy was not helpful on the dosing either. This app failed to assist me in time of need!

  • Very basic

    Very basic, not much information, probably ok resource for medical student.
  • I like it

    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).
  • Good....

    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.
  • Volume doesn't work

    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.
  • RN,CCRN

    Nice app, a little pricy though.
  • 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!
  • 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.
