The Difficult Airway App
Published by: Airway Management Education Center
Description
The Difficult Airway App (v.3.2)
The Difficult Airway App™ is an essential tool for clinicians who manage emergency airways in any setting: the ED, ICU, in-patient unit or the many EMS practice environments.
THE RIGHT DRUGS, THE RIGHT DOSES, THE RIGHT WAY!
This app rapidly and easily selects the right drugs for RSI, automatically adjusting for obesity and hemodynamics. Pediatric dosing and equipment selection is a snap using the Broselow-Luten color system or the child's estimated weight.
Stay out of trouble! The Difficult Airway App™ guides the user quickly and easily through important algorithms, predictors of the difficult airway, and the step-by-step approach to RSI taught in The Difficult Airway Course: Emergency™.
The Difficult Airway App™ features:
EASY, YET SOPHISTICATED ADULT AND PEDIATRIC DRUG DOSING
• For adult dosing, a few simple clicks bring you to recommended doses that incorporate patient weight, body habitus and hemodynamics.
• The pediatric drug dosing function incorporates the color-coded system created by James Broselow, MD and Robert C. Luten, MD for rapid, safe management of pediatric airway cases.
• The option to customize your formulary means that only the drugs you use will appear in the recommendations.
DECISION-MAKING SUPPORT
• Straight-forward algorithms allow you to quickly determine the best approach to your patient’s airway.
• Easy mnemonics walk you through predictors of a difficult airway, including difficult laryngoscopy (LEMON), difficult BMV (ROMAN), difficult extraglottic device use (RODS) and difficult cricothyrotomy (SMART).
• Pearls of wisdom, based on evidence and expert opinion, are offered throughout.
RAPID SEQUENCE INTUBATION
• The 7 – Ps of RSI: a step-by-step guide for adult and pediatric patients.
• Adult and pediatric RSI drug dosing.
EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
• Richly detailed illustrations of the airway anatomy.
• Links to information about The Difficult Airway Courses™.
Created by Ron M. Walls, MD, Michael F. Murphy, MD and Robert C. Luten, MD. With significant updates by Calvin A. Brown III, MD.

Needs a chart of medications
Really needs to have an easy to access chart for every medication with mechanisms of action, recommended dose range per kg of weight, common side effects. Just a table which could be accessed for review without having a particular patient in mind. Would use the app much more often and recommend to other physicians/residents who would be more likely to download the app since it would be a single source for all there is to know on intubation. Will change the review if this changes.
No dosing info on VECURONIUM!!!!!
Had a difficult airway one night. Couldn’t use succinylcholine choline. Only alternative was vecuronium at my hospital institution. App does NOT give dosing info on vecuronium in the algorithm, only gives info on rocuroium. Pharmacy was not helpful on the dosing either. This app failed to assist me in time of need!
Very basic
Very basic, not much information, probably ok resource for medical student.
I like it
It works well. It's pretty quick on my iPhone. It says it changes the dose to factor in low bp ect but it would be nice if it told you how much per kg along with the total amount (which is what you get now).
Good....
But very short and to the point. Not a whole lot to this app. Just the facts. I purchased two more app's as this was not enough for me to RSI as a newbie.
Volume doesn't work
Nice app. It would be nice if we could set the dose as well as the drug. IE; 1 mg/kg of succs as opposed to what this is set at to Taylor to our protocol. And the volume doesn't work at all. I cannot hear any of them talking.
RN,CCRN
Nice app, a little pricy though.
Way overpriced
This app has some great features.... That other apps have for $1.99. The RSI app has the same basic info for a Lot less. Nice quality app, the videos are a nice touch( I love the docs doing the cricothyroidotomy in their nice white coats) but WAY OVERPRICED!
Great for the ER
The app gives you exact dosing of RSI drugs given some basic patient info so you don't have to calculate ideal or lean body weight in what is a chaotic situation usually. It also has 45 min of video instruction and the algorithms Dr Walls teaches in the course.
