Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side β with what reviewers say about each.
AnesPlan
Read full descriptionHide full description
Anesthesia plans that are easier to read β and easier to hand off. This timeline-based app unifies preoperative assessment, the intraoperative anesthesia plan, and postoperative rounds into a single case, supporting how anesthesia teams plan, share, and review. β Complex plans, readable at a glance Build plans intuitively on a drug-by-event grid. From oxygen flow changes to the timing of analgesics and antiemetics, arrow timelines convey the "flow" that text-based plans struggle to communicate. Design AODR / AOSR / TIVA plans side by side for each case, with explicit 1st / 2nd / 3rd priorities. β Everything a handoff needs, in one case Allergies, preoperative labs, contraindications, airway assessment, automatic Apfel score, postoperative pain and PONV, approval status, and edit history β all stored in one case. During long procedures or intraoperative handoffs, the information you need is seconds away. β Resident teaching, built into daily work An approval workflow records the resident's independent plan and the post-review plan separately. Case review then auto-classifies cases into "the resident's plan stood" vs. "the attending changed the plan," so teams can review why plans changed alongside Apfel scores and procedures. An audit log keeps the editing history traceable. β Toward standardization and improvement Save hospital-specific plan templates and roll your institution's standard plans out to new members. Postop rounds verify plan-vs-performed agreement and record awakening, nausea, pain NRS, and complications. With PDF / ZIP case sharing, the app supports not just daily case management but handoffs, education, standardization, and the improvement cycle β in one flow. β Designed for peace of mind Case data is stored entirely on your device and never sent to external servers Separate passcode locks for app launch, export, template editing, and case review Start instantly, no account required Available in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, and Korean Note: All calculations and content are reference information only. Final medical decisions are the responsibility of the treating physician and institution.

When the ventilator alarms β what to look at, what to do. Vent Sim puts you at the bedside. The ventilator alarm is ringing: read the chart, use checks and treatments to find the cause and fix it, then name the cause and review what happened. There are 21 scenes: 12 where an alarm is ringing (about 2 minutes each) and 9 you fix by changing the ventilator settings, and you can run them again on your own. Works on iPad and iPhone. It's also a full ventilator simulator underneath: - Modes: A/C-VC, A/C-PC, SIMV-VC, SIMV-PC, and PSV (with apnea backup ventilation) - Real-time airway pressure, flow, and volume waveforms that respond immediately to every setting you change - Alarms for airway pressure, tidal volume, minute ventilation, respiratory rate, and apnea - Work of breathing (WOB), so you can compare a patient's effort before and after a mode change - Built-in cases across normal lungs, ARDS (mild/moderate/severe), COPD, and severe asthma - A Sources screen showing where the app's numbers come from (textbooks, guidelines, papers), and marking which values are design decisions Free: A/C (volume and pressure control) and PSV modes, the core settings, 3 cases (normal lungs, moderate ARDS, COPD), and 3 training scenes (airway blocked by secretions, circuit disconnection, hypoventilation in Guillain-BarrΓ© syndrome). One-time purchase unlocks: SIMV (volume and pressure control), advanced settings (inspiratory pause, rise time), the remaining cases (mild and severe ARDS, severe asthma), the other 18 training scenes (10 alarm scenes such as mainstem intubation, unplanned extubation, tension pneumothorax, cuff leak, and a misplaced tracheostomy tube; 8 scenes you fix by changing ventilator settings, covering ARDS, COPD, asthma, postoperative atelectasis, and more), and review export (image and data). One-time purchase β no subscription. Buy it once, use it for as long as you want. No accounts, no sign-in, and no data collection of any kind β see the Privacy Policy below. Please note: - This app is for education only and is not intended for clinical decision-making. - It is based on a single-compartment lung model and a simplified gas exchange model, so its behavior may differ from that of real patients. - It does not reproduce the behavior of any specific manufacturer's ventilator. When operating actual equipment, follow the manufacturer's instructions for use.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AnesPlan at none against Vent Sim's 1. AnesPlan also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days). Vent Sim's advantage is iOS requirement (15.4 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
