Piramal Anaesthaesia Assistant app for iPhone and iPad

One of the key insights from our markets is that the Anaesthesiologists are unaware of the actual cost of the Inhalation Anaesthetic (IA) agent being used in a surgery. Being unacquainted about the cost implications of using a better drug like Sevoflurane puts them on the back foot for Anaesthesiologists when requesting for these drugs to the pharmacist or the relevant purchasing authorities. Secondly, the during the maintenance phase of the surgery, an average patient can be maintained under conditions at a concentration of 0.8 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration). Most of the anaesthesiologists are unaware of the different dial settings required at different flow rates of fresh gas flow to ensure 0.8 MAC

Some features of the app are-
- The User can calculate the Vol/Hr of the drug required, as well as the Cost/Hr. The calculator also gives you the optimum dial concentration for the given fresh gas flow. It also informs the user whether the dial setting he/she has entered is less or more than the optimal dial setting.

- The events calendar lists down all the relevant events happening in the anaesthesiologist’s home country & around the globe

- The section Doctors Corner would provide them all the relevant literature in Anaesthesia, recent developments in the field, Articles, research papers purchased by Piramal for distributions and journals of the respective anaesthesia society.

- Through Connect, the users can view contact details of other registered doctors. Some users may have their contact details hidden, in which case users can send a request to view the contact requests
