GuRU is an teaching App covering regional anaesthesia.

Note: Internet access is required to allow access to the videos and for external links accessed from within the app. We hope to update this to an offline version shortly. Problems have been reported with the Samsung Galaxy S3 mini.

A unique system that combines live sonoanatomy via ultrasound scans & 3D animated anatomy of 11 key regional anaesthetic blocks. All elements are combined and synchronised with audible narration.

* Full length offline demonstrations of 11 regional anaesthetic techniques.

* 3D Animated anatomical models, interlinked with live ultrasound scans.

* Visualise a whole block from start to finish.

* Clear narration during the procedure.

* A source of tips and advice which we wished had been around when we started using ultrasound.

* Easy accessed tabs for Anatomy, Procedure, and Tips.

* Stunning full screen diagrams.

* Annotated ultrasound screen shots.

* Fantastic for the novice or experienced anaesthesia provider.

* Learning tool for ODP’s, ODA’s, Anaesthetic nurses, PA(A)’s, AA’s, CRNA’s and all staff working within regional anaesthesia.

* Medical students can gain a better insight into regional anaesthesia.

A tab system gives the user access to anatomy, procedure and tips. The anatomy tab gives an overview of anatomy related to the specific block, it includes schematic diagram’s which can be expanded to full screen. The procedures tab is a full pictorial and text guide to the performance of the specific block, including annotated ultrasound screen captures to help visualise nerves. The tips tab contains useful advice related to the selected block, also included is advice on the use of ultrasound and local anaesthetics. The equipment tab provides details on the equipment used and links to the company website for this equipment. (Internet access is required to access these links)

A must have app for both junior and senior anaesthetic staff as well as practitioners working within regional anaesthesia.

The initial 11 blocks are:

Interscalene
Supraclavicular
Infraclavicular
Axillary
Radial Nerve
Median Nerve
Ulnar Nerve
TAP
Femoral Nerve
Saphenous Nerve
Popliteal Sciatic

More blocks will be added to this app, contact us to let us know what you would like to see in future updates.

This App is exactly what it says it is - it’s a guide. It doesn’t set out to replace a standard text book. It certainly isn’t a substitute for a sound knowledge of anatomy and local anaesthetic pharmacology. It’s more of a guide to the occasional blocker, a refresher to the more experienced, and a teaching aid to the trainer.

We are a busy hospital with a heavy teaching commitment. Therefore we choose to use nerve stimulation in conjunction with ultrasound as we feel it adds another layer of safety to the patient, and reassurance to the operator.
