User reviews

Update

Can you update the app and add more features and new blocks to it

Excellent, just needs a few more block

Paravertebral, esp, and rectus sheath would be top of my list to add. Otherwise it's very nice

Great for teaching

A great app for learning new regional anaesthesia blocks, the 3D animations and live ultrasound fit together perfectly to aid in your learning.

I really like the fact it is offline so I have access at any time without having to have cellular or wifi.

I hope there are more blocks added soon.

GuRU App

This is a must have App for all trainee and consultant anaesthetists who wish to refine and revise their skills in relation to regional anaesthesia. The App is a compilation of written and visual information put together in a very easy to follow format. Each page has a series of tabs to guide the user where he wants to go.
All commonly used upper and lower limb blocks have been included. The combination on the same page of practical technique, anatomy and ultrasound representation for each block is both original and unique. This App would make a great aid to teaching and particularly so with respect to 'real time' learning. All in all a gem of an App!!
