Catalyst is a quick reference guide for common medication used in modern anaesthesia. Its purpose is to provide information on the go using best practice and best evidence guidelines where possible. It is NOT designed to be a comprehensive manual on the topic.
All medicines are colour coded. It is especially useful in hospital environments where printed material, telephone network, or internet is unavailable.
Ideal for medical students, anaesthetic nurses, anaesthetic trainees, and practicing anaesthetists.
All content is based on current guidelines and usage in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. All information pertains to adults (no child doses available just yet).
*Further medications will be added in future updates, including induction agents, analgesics, cardiovascular and obstetric drugs.
**Depending on feedback, future updates may include: drug incompatibilities & interactions, expanded resource section (more medical conditions, procedures, protocols, assessments), and features such as ability to take notes and email sections to colleagues.
