Local anaesthetic dosing is a pretty common question in theatre and youβll look very slick if you can answer it without pecking at your phone first.
To polish my own practice and prevent pointless pecking, I created a little robot that comes up with quiz questions for the most commonly used agents.
I call him LocalBot.
How He Works π€
LocalBot randomly picks a local anaesthetic and an imaginary patientβs weight (rounded to the nearest ten kilograms). He then works out the maximum dose and corresponding volume of local anaesthetic that you can give.
He uses the drugs and reference values in the Survival Guide.
LocalBot actually picks two agents at random and then chooses the one that youβve historically gotten wrong more often. So, LocalBot is slightly biased towards questions that youβll learn more from. Nice!
You check take him for a spin right here.
