## What is ASRA Coags?

The ASRA COAGS app has been updated with a universal code base and a fresh new look. This
subscription-based app is $6.99/annually or free with ASRA Pain Medicine membership. The app
transforms the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine anticoagulation guidelines
for Regional Anesthesia and Interventional Pain Procedures into a quick and easy reference for your
practice. It provides rapid access to drug-specific summary information.
This version combines the most current recommendations from two separate publications:
1. The 2025 guidelines “Regional anesthesia in the patient receiving antithrombotic or
thrombolytic therapy: American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine Evidence-
Based Guidelines (Fifth Edition)” published in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine.
2. The 2018 Interventional Pain guidelines from the publication “Interventional Spine and Pain
Procedures in Patients on Antiplatelet and Anticoagulant Medications (Second Edition);
Guidelines From the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine, the European
Society of Regional Anaesthesia and Pain Therapy, the American Academy of Pain Medicine, the
International Neuromodulation Society, the North American Neuromodulation Society, and the
World Institute of Pain” published in Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine.
The app provides direct access to both the regional guidelines and the pain guidelines, also allowing you
to choose a default and focus on your specific practice area.
Regional Guidelines:
1. Search for drugs by brand name or generic name.
2. Get recommendations based on the block type (e.g. neuraxial, peripheral, obstetric) and the
intervention type (e.g. placing a block or removing a catheter).
3. Access more detailed information by using the Information "i" button:
a. Mechanism of action for each drug.
b. Executive summary for each drug.

c. The full 2025 ASRA Pain Medicine regional guideline document.

Pain Guidelines:
1. Search for drugs by brand name or generic name. Or start your search by procedure.
2. Get recommendations for:
a. High, intermediate, and low risk procedures.
b. Modifiers for patients at higher bleeding risk.
c. Herbal medications.
d. Antidepressant medications.
e. When to restart medications after a procedure.
3. Access more detailed information for any drug by using the Information "i" button:
a. Mechanism of action for each drug.

### 1/5 — Predatory

*2026-05-15*

Should not have to pay for publicly available info

### 1/5 — ASRA will not get another penny from me

*2026-05-15*

Embarrassing money grab after paying a “one-time” fee, only to be converted to a subscription model and then utilizing funds to legally intimidate other physicians who offer free alternatives for guidelines that are freely available. Shameless grifting.

### 1/5 — Double payment

*2026-04-21*

Asking to pay a subscription after already paying for the app - predatory practice. Will be cancelling.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app for patient care

*2026-02-08, version 6.1*

Unfortunately lots of downvotes for a really great app. This is a nonprofit society that develops guidelines, including for this app.

### 1/5 — Changed the terms

*2026-02-07, version 6.1*

Trash. I paid for the initial ASRA coags app which at the time was a one time, lifetime fee. Now that I have updated it is making me start a subscription service. Garbage, honor your initial terms asra!!!

### 1/5 — Paid for app but now it’s a subscription

*2026-02-04, version 6.1*

Lost access to what used to be an excellent app even though I paid for it. Now there are many alternatives available. All my colleagues have been disappointed with ASRA.

### 1/5 — Paid for app now need to pay more

*2026-01-28*

I already paid for this app. And now they want more? Cmon

### 1/5 — Unable to transfer now have to pay!

*2026-01-01, version 6.1*

I had the 2.9 coags version but since updating to newer iphone I can’t access without paying! I had a lifetime subscription smh

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2025-12-20, version 6.1*

I paid for this app for lifetime access before it was a subscription, and used it for several years. Now I am kicked out of it, requiring a paid subscription to use it. Those that paid should have been grandfathered in. Dishonest. Deleting this app.

### 1/5 — Locked me out after paying

*2025-12-03, version 6.1*

They put up a paywall right after I paid for the app…
