AnesBuddy
Anesthesia Study Companion
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
AnesBuddy: The free anesthesia pocket guide. Fast access to airway algorithms, dosing logic, and case organization tools. Everything you need in one app.
Master the Fundamentals of Anesthesiology
AnesBuddy is the all-in-one educational reference and study companion designed for anesthesiology residents and students preparing for the ITE, BASIC/ADVANCED exams, and Oral Boards.
Developed by Synaptic Collaborations, AnesBuddy consolidates high-yield textbook data and society guidelines into a single interface for rapid review and self-assessment.
Core Educational Modules:
Pharmacology & Toxicology Review:
Study toxic dose thresholds for local anesthetics (LAST) and verify your memorization of maximums.
Review opioid classifications and equianalgesic tables essential for exam pharmacology sections.
"Show Your Work" Transparency:
This app does not just provide answers; it teaches the math. Tap into any value—from local anesthetic limits to gastric volume models—to see the formulaic derivation and step-by-step logic, helping you internalize the equations required for board exams.
Oral Boards Simulator:
Test your clinical logic with case-based scenarios.
"Check Your Work" features allow you to compare your proposed airway plans and equipment selection against standardized case stems to identify knowledge gaps before exam day.
Guideline Library:
Instant access to the industry-standard algorithms you need to memorize, including ACLS, Malignant Hyperthermia protocols, Difficult Airway algorithms, and ASRA Neuraxial Anticoagulation guidelines.
Gastric Ultrasound Reference:
Review identifying anatomy, probe placement, and cross-sectional area (CSA) literature.
Who is this for? AnesBuddy is designed for learners. Whether you are a CA-1 learning the basics of toxic limits or a CA-3 prepping for the Applied Exam, this tool keeps the essential facts and formulas at your fingertips.

What’s New in Version 1.2.1:
We have expanded AnesBuddy from a reference tool into a daily workflow companion. This update introduces two major features designed to help you organize your training and practice:
1. Personal Case Library:
Build your own database of anesthetic plans. Never forget how you successfully managed a specific surgery.
Log by Procedure: Create entries for specific case types (e.g., "Thoracotomy," "C-Section").
Detailed Planning: Record your preferred Airway (GA/MAC), Access (IV/A-line), Maintenance, and Analgesic plans.
Personal Notes: Add custom tips and "lessons learned" for future reference.
2. Pre-Op Organizer:
A standardized tool to streamline your preoperative assessment.
Systematically organize data and case considerations.
Designed to help students and residents structure their thoughts for attending presentations and case setup.
