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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anesthesia 101 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BLOCKJOCKS has 96 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Anesthesia 101's written reviews are positive against 85% of BLOCKJOCKS's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
