Each entry displays illustrative weight-bracket reference ranges at 50, 70, and 100 kg โ€” giving providers a fast, structured way to understand typical dosing patterns as an educational guide, not a replacement for clinical judgment. EMERGENCY QUICK REFERENCE When seconds matter, Induction delivers structured reference content for ACLS algorithms, vasopressor selection, and push-dose pressors. The dedicated bradycardia ACLS algorithm and code-dose reference are formatted for fast scanning under pressure. ANESTHESIA UNIT CONVERTER Built specifically for anesthesia math, the unit converter handles mg/mcg, kg/lbs, percentage to mg/mL, mL to drops, and mmol/mEq conversions โ€” eliminating mental math friction at the point of need. CASE PLAN BUILDER Organize your anesthetic thinking with the de-identified case plan builder. Structure biometrics, ASA classification, airway assessment, and relevant history in a clean, systematic format. The integrated AI evidence review cross-references published guidelines to support educational case planning and self-study. RISK SCORES, COGNITIVE AIDS & MORE Induction also includes preoperative risk scoring tools, crisis cognitive aids, a clinical reference library, and procedure portfolio tracking โ€” everything a modern anesthesia provider needs in one streamlined app. Induction is an educational reference tool. All content is intended for learning and reference purposes only, and is not designed for real-time patient-specific clinical decision-making.

SRNA Buddy is the daily companion built for student nurse anesthetists โ€” and it's better with your cohort. Pool what you each learn about the providers and clinical sites you rotate through, so nobody walks into a room cold. SHARED WITH YOUR COHORT - Keep notes on the CRNAs, surgeons, and anesthesiologists you work with โ€” preferences, quirks, and workflow - Build survival guides for each clinical site: parking, badge access, where to scrub in, who to find - Learn from the classmates who rotated before you โ€” and pass it forward to the ones coming next - No cohort yet? Start solo and invite your class anytime WALK IN READY - Set tomorrow's lineup, then tap any room to pull up the plan and your cohort's notes before you scrub in - Build a library of anesthetic plan templates you can fork and make your own - Keep airway, block, and case notes together in one place TRACK YOUR CASES - Log a case in seconds โ€” each one is automatically sorted into your requirement categories - Watch your progress bars move against targets you set to match your program's COA minimums - Add your own custom requirements, and set your graduation countdown MOVE CASES OVER, FASTER - Copy any case as a clean, formatted block โ€” date, procedure, anesthesia type, ASA, time, specialty, preceptor, site, and more - Paste it into Typhon, Medatrax, or whatever system your program uses, instead of hunting through your notes KNOW YOUR NUMBERS - Break your cases down by type, specialty, and anesthetic to spot gaps early - See at a glance where you stand and what's left before graduation PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No ads, no trackers, no selling your data - Your logs and notes are yours Whether you're a first-year finding your footing or counting down to boards, SRNA Buddy keeps your cohort, your cases, and your prep in one place โ€” so you can focus on becoming the CRNA you're training to be. SRNA Buddy is a personal logging and study companion. Please don't enter protected health information (PHI).
