Perfect for the board exams. This app was designed to make you a better consultant in perioperative anesthesia. With over 60 topics, this application will help expand, crystallize and organize your thought process, so you can better express your pre-, intra- and post-operative concerns, and formulate an effective strategy for the patient that is safe and efficient. It serves as a review of multiple aspects of the field of anesthesia, covering many diseases, conditions and events. Unlike other “review” or “text-book” products, this uses a dialogue style, allowing it to probe deeper, challenging your knowledge base. Each section contains its own interactive, self-assessment quiz. Use this app for a quick, point-of-care reference when presented with a case; or, use it as a review for cases with which your experience is limited. Either way, this app will help you speak confidently with other specialists, and improve how you prepare and manage your patients.
