On the front are the dose and vial/ampoule size on the back all the important information an anaesthetic practitioner will need.

Common anaesthetic cards app for Android and Apple

Our Common Anaesthetic Drugs app is essential for anyone new to anaesthetics or who wants to renew their knowledge.
The easy to use app includes more information then our physical flashcards and is designed to work off-line as many operating theatres have weak or no mobile coverage/Wi-Fi signal.
If you are an anaesthetic nurse, ODP, anaesthetic technician or new anaesthetic trainee then this app is for you. It’s not a textbook but a quick reference guide to what you need to know about common anaesthetic drugs.
