Bug fixes

User reviews

No naropin in left over

There’s no naropin on the final left over medication list… also doesn’t tell you when you’re overdosing medications. No updates on this app for over 5 years…

I don’t trust this app

I should make an app myself. This is very inaccurate.

Incomplete

Locals should be additive. Beware overdosing. Also, needs more local anesthetic concentrations. There’s no lidocaine 2%. Also the app only calculates the leftover bupibicaine for the surgeon as 0.25 %. Half percent isn’t calculated.

Has potential

This could be so useful if they changed a few things around. Add in the hard stops and correct additive formulas

Dental anesthesia

As a dentist I would like to see articaine and prilocaine reviewed also.
