The ASRA COAGS app has been updated with a universal code base and a fresh new look. This subscription-based app is $6.99/annually or free with ASRA Pain Medicine membership. The app transforms the American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine anticoagulation guidelines for Regional Anesthesia and Interventional Pain Procedures into a quick and easy reference for your practice. It provides rapid access to drug-specific summary information. This version combines the most current recommendations from two separate publications: 1.

The app provides direct access to both the regional guidelines and the pain guidelines, also allowing you to choose a default and focus on your specific practice area. Regional Guidelines: 1. Search for drugs by brand name or generic name. 2.
