Hi. I'm looking  for a palm piolet program in Anesthesiology to have with me that will have the little things that you sometimes forget and want to lookup. Can anyone recommend something that they feel is good? Should I just use epocrates for drug doses?

Thank you for your input.

At my institution, spinal anesthesia for C-sections are done with 1.4ml of 0.75% bupivicane, 200 ug intrathecal morphine, and 25ug Fentanyl for the average female. But I have seen different attendings (I'm a resident) change the 0.75% Bupivicane amount from 1.2 to 2.0 ml based on the patient's height. But none of my attendings can refer me to a chart or published document as to how to dose based on height (although they all seem to feel very strongly about how much to give to a particular patient). Where is it published how many milligrams of bupivicane you should give to a  patient of a particular height to get a particular level with your spinal? Similarly, how about for non -Ob spinals like a bilateral knee replacement?

I'd greatly appreciate your input.
