## SafeLocal Description
SafeLocal is an application developed by Johns Hopkins that makes calculating safe dosages of local anesthetic quick and easy for anesthesiologists, surgeons, and other medical providers. It seamlessly incorporates patient weight, disease processes, mixtures of local anesthetic, and presence or absence of additives, to calculate the maximum safe dose of local anesthetic without the hassle of going through the calculations by hand, all while tracking how much of the maximum safe dose has been used up and how much is left over for safe administration.

FEATURES:
●	Dosage calculator for local anesthetics, including complex mixtures and non-standard concentrations.
●	Adjusts maximum safe dose by patient weight (lbs or kg).
●	Choice between anesthesia with or without epinephrine.
●	Option to add comorbidities such as extremes of age, severe renal dysfunction, hepatic dysfunction, or advanced heart failure, with automatic adjustment of maximum safe dose.
●	Ability to calculate remaining safe dose of anesthesia for anesthesiologist or surgeon to administer based on how much has already been administered.

Calculations based on Chapter 36 (Local Anesthesia) of Miller’s Anesthesia, 8th Edition. Adjustment for comorbidities based on the 2004 publication “Maximum Recommended Doses of Local Anesthetics: A Multifactorial Concept” by Rosenberg et al.

The information provided by the application is based on expert opinion. It is to be used as a recommendation only. Clinical judgment by a physician is required in every situation. The user assumes all responsibility for decisions made with the information provided by this app.

Project produced at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine by Jonathan D. Lin, M.D. and Jean-Pierre P. Ouanes, D.O. Funded generously by the Johns Hopkins Bayview Patient Safety Pyramid Grant Program.

## SafeLocal Reviews in United States

### **--- "Has potential"
This could be so useful if they changed a few things around. Add in the hard stops and correct additive formulas
-- Dr. Drew207, 2025-01-20

### ***-- "Dental anesthesia"
As a dentist I would like to see articaine and prilocaine reviewed also.
-- Shawdds, 2024-11-08

### ****- "Add 0.5% bupivacaine"
Need to add 0.5% for surgeons preference at end. Only lists 0.25%, so I’ve been halving the remaining total listed.
-- Littleredjunebug, 2024-07-11

### *---- "Needs to be fixed"
This is a great and much needed app. However, it has one major flaw: the lb vs kg screen. It should just use one of them for everybody. 

Because of that screen, which I thought I had set to lbs, I overdosed a patient. Thankfully nothing bad happened. 

I cannot in good conscience give more than one star to the app, as ling as that screen is not fixed. Local anesthetic systemic toxicity is a killer.

Many thanks to both authors. Your work is highly appreciated.
-- Irv72, 2023-11-25

### **--- "Would be 5/5 but"
The app doesn’t take into account the hard stop maximums for dosing. Ex: bupivacaine not to exceed 175 mg no matter their weight, or any other local anesthetic, the app does not inform you if you are given a volume over safe dosing limits. Since the whole purpose of the app is to inform you of appropriate safe dosing limits, this really should be addressed or have a notification when above hard stop dosages.
-- AVT1713, 2023-04-12

### **--- "Incorrect Mixed Dose Calculations"
The app is great in theory, but when you are mixing locals the max should be additive, which is not the way it shows up when you select 2 different locals. For example, in a 70kg pt your max of 0.5% bupiv is 35cc, and with 1% Lido your max is also 35cc, but when using both, your MAX is still 35cc. The app gives the impression that you can give 70cc when using this combo (stating 35cc each), which is not correct.
-- rkakes, 2022-10-21

### *---- "Update to support dark mode"
Please support dark mode in iOS. When the phone is in dark mode, all the clickable text and entered text appears white on a white background (I.e invisible).
-- Carly E.., 2020-06-25

### ***-- "Doesn&#039;t work on iPhone dark display setting"
Type disappears in iPhone &quot;dark&quot; display setting- unusable.  Works fine in &quot;light&quot; display.  Otherwise a great app
-- Amyyyyy9877, 2020-06-20

### **--- "Change the color of the text!"
Text is in white, making it very difficult to read. Otherwise, this is a fantastic resource. Please fix above immediately!!
-- oscKB, 2020-06-14

### **--- "Text in white..."
Text is in white unable to see what I’m typing. Please fix! Hoping this will be a great tool for school!
