Tailor your anesthetic plan to the patient. Clinician-built, system-based guidance for coexisting diseases designed for perioperative decision-making.
The Vargo Coexisting Diseases & Surgery App is a clinician-built resource designed to help anesthesia providers tailor anesthetic management to the patient’s underlying comorbidities and surgical considerations. Built from years of clinical experience, the app focuses on how coexisting diseases directly impact perioperative decision-making.
Organized by major clinical systems, the app allows for rapid access to condition-specific anesthesia considerations—whether preparing for a case or managing complex patients in active clinical settings.
The app is structured by major organ systems and disease categories, providing focused anesthesia guidance across a wide range of conditions:
- Brain / Neuro
Neurologic conditions and their impact on anesthesia management
- Cardiac
Hemodynamic considerations, cardiac pathology, and perioperative risk
- Endocrine
Diabetes, adrenal disorders, thyroid disease, and metabolic implications
- Gastrointestinal
GI disorders affecting anesthesia planning and intraoperative care
- Hematologic Disorders
Coagulopathies, anemia, and blood management considerations
- Liver & Biliary Tract
Hepatic dysfunction and implications for drug metabolism and coagulation
- Pediatrics & OB/GYN
Specialized considerations for pediatric and obstetric populations
- Pulmonary
Respiratory disease management and ventilation strategies
- Renal Diseases
Kidney dysfunction and fluid, electrolyte, and drug considerations
- Congenital Heart Defects
Structural cardiac conditions and tailored anesthesia approaches
The app is built to provide clear, focused guidance that directly applies to clinical practice:
Organized for rapid navigation by system and condition
Emphasis on how disease states influence anesthetic planning
Practical, case-driven considerations rather than general summaries
This is a tool designed to help providers quickly answer the question:
“How does this patient’s condition change my anesthetic plan?”

ANOTHER MUST-HAVE FOR SRNAs!

This app is like stumbling on a second gold mine for SRNAs after finding the first (The Vargo Anesthesia App). It gives you information for pretty much anything you could want to look up regarding your case. Just like the Vargo anesthesia app, the user interface is clean, neat, and organized. It has a search feature that is quick to display results, and it has tabs that allow for ease of finding what you want. All information included also has APA- cited references at the bottom, too, just like the Vargo app. Outstanding. This app is also frequently updated with new information or other features to make a continuously better experience for you. Plus, no additional monthly subscription fee and no data tracking. Overall, it is an amazing app on your phone. It’s something you will use in school and as a CRNA, so 100% worth it. I would highly suggest this app for all SRNAs!
Pleasantly surprised

I bought this app a long time ago along with the Vargo Anesthesia Mega App when the company had their annual sale. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday when I pulled up the Coexisting Disease App looking for info on my surgery/anesthesia patient with a rarer disease. This app was very detailed and had everything I needed to know to prepare for this patient…highly recommend!I also used this app quite a bit as an anesthesia resident!
A terrific clinical resource to have at your fingertips

Vargo has done it again with this huge clinical resource. It contains so many subjects I don’t know where I could start and finish extolling the virtues of this tome. I highly recommend all anesthesia providers to purchase and have this on their phone. Now- don’t hesitate - get it now and start reading 😀🎄😷
