InPlane (International Network for Paediatric Locoregional ANaesthesia and Education) is a landmark global initiative designed to close the educational gap in paediatric regional anaesthesia. Developed by international experts in collaboration with five leading anaesthesia societies, RA-UK, APAGBI, ESPA, CPAS, and SPANZA, the InPlane app is the first unified, open-access mobile platform dedicated to providing point-of-care guidance on paediatric regional anaesthesia to anaesthetist at all levels of experience. Key features of the app: - Evidence- and expert-based guidance in paediatric regional anaesthesia - Educational content on key topics such as consent, safety, local anaesthetic dosing, compartment syndrome, โฆ - A comprehensive nerve block library with a user-friendly search function to identify recommended regional anaesthesia techniques by anatomical region or common paediatric procedures - Step-by-step guidance on performing regional anaesthesia in children: for each block includes anatomy, patient positioning and preparation, ultrasound anatomy, needle technique, and desired spread of local anaesthetic - A growing library of images and instructional videos - Offline functionality Paediatric Plan A blocks are freely accessible to all users. Plan B blocks will be available to members of any of the five collaborating societies. The InPlane app does not collect any personal data. InPlane is provided for educational purposes only. Its content supports learning in paediatric regional anaesthesia and does not constitute medical advice, nor does it replace formal training, supervision, or independent clinical judgment. While every effort is made to ensure accuracy and currency, users are responsible for verifying information against local guidelines, considering patient-specific factors, and ensuring appropriate competence and supervision before performing any procedure.

Pass your ACLS the first time. 340 questions, 15 rhythm strips you can actually read, and megacode scenarios โ all written against the current 2025 guidelines. No account, no signal, no ads. Recertifying and short on time? Open the app and take a practice test in ten minutes. EVERY TOPIC ON THE WRITTEN EXAM โข Rhythms & ECG Recognition โ free and unlimited, with all 15 strips โข ACLS Algorithms โ cardiac arrest, bradycardia, tachycardia, post-arrest โข Pharmacology โ every drug, dose, route and indication โข Post-Arrest, Airway & Team โ ROSC targets, capnography, airway, team dynamics Nothing is "coming soon" โ every deck above is in the app today. READ EVERY RHYTHM Rhythm recognition is where most people lose marks, so that deck is free. Normal sinus, sinus bradycardia and tachycardia, atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, SVT, monomorphic and polymorphic VT, coarse and fine VF, asystole, an organized PEA trace, and second- and third-degree block. Every strip renders full width on a proper ECG grid โ a clean tracing, not a photocopy of one. MEGACODE SCENARIOS, TIMED The megacode sitting walks one patient through five scenario rounds โ read the rhythm, pick the algorithm step, choose the drug, choose what comes next โ against the clock. There is a full-length timed mock as well. BUILT ON THE 2025 GUIDELINES The 2025 cycle changed answers that were taught for years: intravenous access before intraosseous, atrial flutter cardioversion at 200 J, five back blows before abdominal thrusts for adult choking, routine mechanical CPR no longer recommended. Every question records the guideline edition it was written against, so nothing here goes quietly stale. SMART REVIEW REMEMBERS YOUR MISSES A five-box spaced-repetition system brings each question back right before you would forget it. Misses jump the queue with the explanation and the guideline behind them. NEVER LET YOUR CARD LAPSE Certification comes around every two years and it is easy to lose track. Enter your card expiry date and the home screen counts down, with a recert reminder as the window opens. First-timers can set an exam date instead. OFFLINE, PRIVATE, NO ACCOUNT Free download, no sign-up, no email, no ads. The whole app works with no signal. Progress stays on your phone. No patient information is collected or entered anywhere. FOR CERTIFICATION STUDY ONLY For certification study only โ not clinical guidance. In practice, follow current guidelines, your training, and local protocols. NOT AFFILIATED Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or approved by the American Heart Association (AHA) or any certifying or training organization. ACLSยฎ is a registered trademark of the AHA, referenced only to indicate exam-prep compatibility. Independent study material โ not an AHA course, and completing it does not grant certification. Exam length, pass mark and delivery vary by training center, so check yours. Scores are an estimate, not a guarantee.
