Almost perfect
This app would be amazing for quickly calculating the amount of local a surgeon can give after a peripheral block….. but… it only calculates based off of patients weight and doesn’t take into account the max dose of local anesthetics. For example, I put a 68kg pt into the calculator and it told me I could give 68ml of 1% lidocaine with Epinephrine. This is 680mg of lidocaine. The max allowable dose of lidocaine with epinephrine for any patient should be 500mg.
This is a potentially dangerous oversight but the app would be absolutely perfect if this is factored for.

Max dose not correct
I love this app, but it doesn’t take into account the standard max dose of any of the local anesthetics. For instance, for a 200kg pt, the calculator states the max dose of Bupivicaine is 400mg.
Great App for Regional!!
I absolutely love this app. It’s a great resource to access just prior to performing a block. The information is succinct and easy to navigate. My only complaint is newer blocks such as ESPB or PENG are not featured on the app.
Awesome
An absolutely awesome reference for clinical application. This gives u everything u need to safely double check u are about to do the block right
Awesome app!!
This an amazing resource for blocks! I especially found the dose calculator supremely useful! And it’s free! Thanks!!! 🤓👍🏽👍🏽
