The Difficult Airway App: Essential Tool for Emergency Clinicians

The Difficult Airway App is an essential tool for clinicians in emergency airway management. It is designed to help clinicians who manage emergency airways in any setting, such as the ED, ICU, in-patient unit, or EMS practice environments. The app provides adult and pediatric drug dosing, decision-making support, and rapid sequence intubation. It also guides the user through important algorithms, predictors of the difficult airway, and the step-by-step approach to RSI taught in The Difficult Airway Course: Emergency.

The app has easy-to-use drug dosing functions for adults and children, which incorporate patient weight, body habitus, and hemodynamics. It also offers the option to customize the formulary, meaning that only the drugs the user needs will appear in the recommendations. The app also provides decision-making support, straight-forward algorithms, easy mnemonics, and pearls of wisdom based on evidence and expert opinion.
