BiliCalc vs The Difficult Airway App

BiliCalc is a neonatal bilirubin calculator and clinical reference for healthcare professionals caring for newborn infants born at 35 or more weeks of gestation. Calculations are based on the 2022 American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Clinical Practice Guideline for the management of hyperbilirubinemia in newborn infants 35 or more weeks of gestation. Enter the infant's postnatal age, gestational age at birth, bilirubin value, measurement type, applicable neurotoxicity risk factors, and phototherapy status to view: • Patient-specific phototherapy, escalation-of-care, and exchange-transfusion thresholds • A graph displaying the bilirubin value and applicable treatment thresholds • Guideline-based treatment recommendations • Post-discharge follow-up guidance, when applicable No internet connection is required for calculations. BiliCalc performs calculations locally on the device and can be used without Wi-Fi or cellular data. BiliCalc is designed for quick clinical reference and does not measure bilirubin. Bilirubin values and other clinical information must be obtained independently and entered by the healthcare professional. Clinical references and links to source material are available within the app. BiliCalc is intended to support, not replace, professional clinical judgment. It is independently developed and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics. The app itself is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese, including its interface, results, charts and clinical guidance. BiliCalc automatically uses your preferred supported device language. You can also choose a language in Info. Regional language variants are recognized, and number formatting follows your device region.

The Difficult Airway App (v.3.3) The Difficult Airway App™ is an essential tool for clinicians who manage emergency airways in any setting: the ED, ICU, in-patient unit or the many EMS practice environments. THE RIGHT DRUGS, THE RIGHT DOSES, THE RIGHT WAY! This app rapidly and easily selects the right drugs for RSI, automatically adjusting for obesity and hemodynamics. Pediatric dosing and equipment selection is a snap using the Broselow-Luten color system or the child's estimated weight. Stay out of trouble! The Difficult Airway App™ guides the user quickly and easily through important algorithms, predictors of the difficult airway, and the step-by-step approach to RSI taught in The Difficult Airway Course: Emergency™. The Difficult Airway App™ features: EASY, YET SOPHISTICATED ADULT AND PEDIATRIC DRUG DOSING • For adult dosing, a few simple clicks bring you to recommended doses that incorporate patient weight, body habitus and hemodynamics. • The pediatric drug dosing function incorporates the color-coded system created by James Broselow, MD and Robert C. Luten, MD for rapid, safe management of pediatric airway cases. • The option to customize your formulary means that only the drugs you use will appear in the recommendations. DECISION-MAKING SUPPORT • Straight-forward algorithms allow you to quickly determine the best approach to your patient’s airway. • Easy mnemonics walk you through predictors of a difficult airway, including difficult laryngoscopy (LEMON), difficult BMV (ROMAN), difficult extraglottic device use (RODS) and difficult cricothyrotomy (SMART). • Pearls of wisdom, based on evidence and expert opinion, are offered throughout. RAPID SEQUENCE INTUBATION • The 7 – Ps of RSI: a step-by-step guide for adult and pediatric patients. • Adult and pediatric RSI drug dosing. EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES • Richly detailed illustrations of the airway anatomy. • Links to information about The Difficult Airway Courses™. Created by Ron M. Walls, MD, Michael F. Murphy, MD and Robert C. Luten, MD. With significant updates by Calvin A. Brown III, MD.
