TechTool review of Medrills – Airway by ArchieMD, Inc on iOS and Android
Website: – iTunes - Android - Website
Medrills Airway is a simulation app like no other. It is primarily aimed at paramedics but could be useful for ED medics too. The module provides instruction on good airway management followed by some simulated scenarios and questions to test and develop your skills. There are 15 modules available to buy separately including: pneumothorax, fractures, IV access and haemorrhage.
Design and User Interface
The patient simulation in the app is better than I have seen in any mobile app. The...

The pleomorphic education revolution is upon us
In the FOAMed age I am constantly amazed at the resourcefulness of medical educators globally to produce high quality, entertaining, thought-provoking, stimulating and controversial multimedia…for free.
We are throwing off the shackles of peer review and boldly placing both feet in the anarchistic torrent of crowd-sourced education, feedback, commentary and response. As technology develops; broadband access to data improves and educators embrace the new medium – we will see an exponential growth in alternate teaching methods.
Prof Montage is a cardiologist practi...

TechTool review of WIkEM by Christopher Kim on iOS and Android
Website: – iTunes - Android - Website
WikEM is a database of Emergency Medicine information. It is a medical wiki which means that users can edit and add information themselves (although not directly through the app). Wikis are essentially crowd-sourced information (Wikipedia being the most famous example). WikEM started as junior doctors putting together a list of revision notes and expanded from there. The mobile apps allow users to access the online content in a mobile-friendly version.
Design and User Interface
It looks like a wiki. A...

Consent Cam Consolidation
Discussion: it marks the starting point for a conversation which can continue on twitter and through blogs, then onto #SMAC2013 so that a global perspective can be obtained
Development: the seedling inclination to pursue a random thought can be magnified with altruistic assistance
Deployment: this may well result in a collaboration which leads to the production of an essential element for medical education provision

EMA February 2013
From Andrew Gosbell & Tony Brown
Issue 1 (Vol. 25) of Emergency Medicine Australasia published online on 6 February 2013
Medical Reversal: What are you doing wrong for your patient today (#FOAMed)
This thought provoking editorial highlights the phenomenon of a new superior trial that contradicts contemporary clinical practice. Considering examples of medical reversals relevant to emergency medicine, Fatovich contends that much existing ‘expert’ practice, currently considered ‘safe and effective’ or a ‘standard of care’ and that seems ‘logical’ and ‘the right thing to do’, may turn out be in...

TechTool review of LactMed by National Library of Medicine on iOS and Android
Website: – iTunes - Android - Website
LactMed provides information about the side effects of medicines when breastfeeding. It is part of the National Library of Medicine’s Toxicology Data Network. The user searches for the drug they are prescribing and detailed results come back from the database about potential adverse effects.
Design and User Interface
It would be fair to say the design is pretty boring. But then it is just a drug toxicity database, so the need to jazz that up is questionable. The UI is certainly clear. ...

Survive Sepsis offers guidance for clinicians to recognise and treat sepsis in adult patients quickly and effectively
Design and User Interface
First off, the app looks great. I love the colours and the design as a whole. The bottom tab bar has stylish icons and all text is clearly displayed on screen. Even the checkboxes seem to have flair. Good work to whoever did the graphics.
