Anesthesiology Reference Card
A Single-Page, Adult Anesthetic Quick Reference
Reference · Dosing · Quick Lookup
This is the kind of reference card that I presume anesthesia students know by heart right before there exams. It is not meant to teach you anesthesia. It is meant to remind you of the numbers you already know but cannot always pull up under pressure: the induction dose of propofol, the intubating dose of rocuronium, the MAC of sevoflurane, the right phenylephrine bolus, the local anesthetic toxicity threshold, the ACLS algorithm steps.
The card covers the categories you would expect in a pocket reference: IV induction agents and sedatives, paralytics and their reversal, inhaled agents and MAC values, opioids, vasoactive drugs (with bolus, mix, and infusion ranges side-by-side), fluid and blood management, local anesthetics with maximum doses and toxicity profiles, PCA settings, anticoagulant timing, and a column of emergency protocols (difficult airway, anaphylaxis, MH, ACLS, hyperkalemia, LAST, and more). It is dense by design, and that density is the point. You should be able to find what you need without scrolling, scrubbing, or scrolling again.
