Dechra Dog and Cat Anaesthesia - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Would you like to update your anaesthesia knowledge in a straightforward, easily accessible way and ensure you are providing all of your patients with ‘best-practice’ anaesthesia?
Are you keen to update the anaesthetic protocols you use for common procedures in dogs and cats but are not sure where to start? Or to gain confidence before performing a procedure you perform less commonly?

The Dechra Dog & Cat Anaesthesia app is a unique resource designed to put practical, accessible information into the hands of veterinarians, veterinary nurses/technicians and vet students. Developed with specialist veterinary anaesthetists and approved by the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists (AVA), the app contains suggested anaesthetic protocols for 24 procedures in the dog and 15 in the cat. It is like having a veterinary anaesthetist in your pocket!

Each procedure contains up to date, detailed anaesthetic considerations for the patient including pre-op stabilisation where required, appropriate premedication options, peri-operative analgesia and details about induction, maintenance, monitoring, and recovery. This allows you to choose the most appropriate protocol for every unique patient.
The app also contains information about 36 of the most commonly used molecules in dog and cat anaesthesia, allowing you to confidently choose and use the most appropriate molecule for every situation. A suggested dosage and route of administration is given, alongside information about indication, time to onset and duration of action, contraindications and side effects.
The app includes an easy to use dose calculator so that you can quickly calculate the doses required for your patient and also allows you to design your own protocols. Each completed protocol can be saved into your favourites folder to use again, or you can email the protocol summary to be saved in the patient’s clinical records, or to be printed.

Dechra are advocates of patient safety and are keen to promote best practice anaesthesia. As part of this commitment we have included the AVA Anaesthetic Safety Checklist within the app. The Dechra Dog and Cat Anaesthesia App reinforces Dechra as leaders in veterinary anaesthesia and analgesia and provides unprecedented technical support to veterinary professionals.

No protocols

Latest update has removed all protocols

Empty app

Protocol and molecules are empty. No way to get information needed. Hopefully will be fixed soon

Is it a technical problem??

Over last week my app is empty. Anyone else has same problem??

Good when you can open it

Whenever I most need to use it it is always ‘checking for updates’ which takes ages. Not useful.

No longer works

I have been using this app for months and love it. That is until the update 1 week ago! Now you can not progress through the anaesthesia protocols. Please fix it.

No data

I was really excited about using this app but it is blank with no drug or protocol information at all. Please fix it!

Bugged

In principle this app should be very useful. However there is obviously an issue with its database as the only functional aspect is the AVA checklists. Drugs and protocols are conspicuous by their absence. Shame.

New update fixed one problem

Now it will load after update checking, but everything is blank. No drugs available to pick and the only part that works is the checklists. Please fix it, this app was amazing before the updates!

Was great before update

Before it was updated it was perfect. Now it takes 2 minutes to load and now the whole app is blank no drugs or protocols. It may be possible to create own protocols and drug lists but very time consuming and may not save. Will be back to 5* review if it is fixed

Update checking

Please please can the app get fixed, I use it all the time and now it just says update checking on iPhones and on other phones it downloads and is blank!
