EuroSCORE II vs AnestICU Quick Reference

EuroSCORE stands for European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation. It identifies a number of risk factors which help to predict mortality from cardiac surgery. The original EuroSCORE calculator was published in 1999, derived from an international database of patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The EuroSCORE II calculator was released for use on October 3, 2011 at the European Association of Cardiothoracic Surgery meeting in Lisbon. The original calculator is used worldwide for both the measurement of risk and as a benchmark for the assessment of quality of cardiac surgical services. There are more than 1300 formal citations of the EuroSCORE in the medical literature. The previous additive and logistic EuroSCORE versions are now inappropriately calibrated but have remained powerfully discriminatory. Nevertheless, there is evidence that discrimination may be improved further by refining and modifying some of the risk factors, such as renal dysfunction. Therefore, the new EuroSCORE II calculator was developed to optimize its useful application in contemporary practice. The EuroSCORE II calculator is to be used as an educational tool only, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for the opinion of expert Cardiac Surgeons and Cardiologists. Clinical judgement must be used whenever rare risk factors are present. The risk model provides a set standard, and units and surgeons will perform at, above or below the standard. Best practice in quoting risk to patients is to adjust the risk calculated by EuroSCORE II to the results achieved by the unit in question. The application is meant to be used as a tool to guide discussions with patients, families, and healthcare providers regarding the potential outcomes after open heart surgery.

AnestICU AnestICU is a quick-reference platform developed by an anesthesiologist, for anesthesiologists, intensivists, emergency physicians, residents, and medical students. The app brings together protocols, calculators, medication doses, tables, algorithms, and clinical tools in one place, providing quick access to information commonly used in anesthesia, critical care, and emergency medicine. Designed for real-world practice in the operating room, ICU, emergency department, and post-anesthesia care unit, AnestICU organizes content in a clear and intuitive way, helping healthcare professionals quickly find important information during patient care. Key Features • Anesthesiology and critical care protocols • Integrated clinical calculators • Arterial blood gas analysis and interpretation • Continuous infusions (BIC) • Anesthetic, vasoactive, and emergency medication dosing • Mechanical ventilation • Hemodynamic management • Cardiac arrest and perioperative emergencies • Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST) • Obstetrics and obstetric anesthesia • Pediatrics and neonatal anesthesia • Neonatal resuscitation • Rapid sequence induction (RSI) • Pre-anesthetic assessment • Neuromuscular blockade monitoring with TOF • Anesthetic depth monitoring (BIS and CONOX) • Cerebral oximetry (NIRS) • Anesthesia for patients with pacemakers • Antiarrhythmic medications • Fluid therapy and transfusion medicine • Clinical scales and scores • Reference tables • Ultrasound / POCUS • Ultrasound anatomy • Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks • Regional anesthesia and perioperative medicine content Quick Reference Tools AnestICU includes calculators and tools designed to facilitate common clinical decisions and calculations, including blood gas analysis, medication dosing, continuous infusions, endotracheal tube fixation in premature infants, clinical assessment, and other applications. Content is structured to reduce the time spent searching for information across different sources, allowing quick access directly from your smartphone or tablet. Designed for Daily Practice The interface is designed for rapid clinical reference, with simple navigation and direct access to the main areas of the app. The goal is to bring frequently used information for professionals caring for surgical and critically ill patients together on a single platform. Works Offline AnestICU content remains available even without an internet connection. This makes it possible to use the app in operating rooms, ICUs, emergency departments, ambulances, hospitals, and other environments where connectivity may be limited. Continuous Updates AnestICU is continuously evolving. New protocols, calculators, algorithms, educational content, and performance improvements are regularly added to expand its usefulness in clinical practice. Disclaimer AnestICU is a clinical decision-support tool intended for healthcare professionals. It does not replace clinical judgment, institutional protocols, local guidelines, or individualized patient assessment. Diagnostic and therapeutic decisions remain the responsibility of the treating healthcare professional. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
