Secure Airway

Secure Airway is a dedicated clinical decision-support and risk-stratification tool designed for anaesthetists, intensivists, emergency physicians, and healthcare professionals managing adult airways. Built upon international difficult airway guidelines (including Difficult Airway Society [DAS] 2015/2018 algorithms and El-Ganzouri criteria), Secure Airway helps clinicians rapidly evaluate bedside predictors, quantify intubation risk, and formulate structured, actionable airway strategies. KEY FEATURES: 1. AUTOMATED SARI RISK CALCULATOR • Rapidly calculates the Simplified Airway Risk Index (SARI) score (0–12 points). • Incorporates 7 critical bedside predictors: Mouth Opening, Thyromental Distance (TMD), Mallampati Classification, Neck Mobility, Upper Lip Bite Test (ULBT), Body Weight, and Prior Intubation History. • Automatically stratifies risk into Low, Moderate, High, or Critical, and predicts Cormack-Lehane laryngoscopy views. 2. STRUCTURED AIRWAY PLANNING (PLANS A–D) • Plan A (Primary Intubation): Suggests optimal device (video laryngoscope vs. standard blade) and tube sizing based on patient factors and departmental equipment. • Plan B (Rescue SGA): Calculates weight-adjusted 2nd generation supraglottic airway sizes (e.g. i-gel, AuraGain). • Plan C (Facemask & Wake): Prompts two-person technique, airway adjuncts, and reversal readiness. • Plan D (eFONA): Standardised scalpel–bougie–tube cricothyroidotomy protocol. 3. AWAKE INTUBATION PATHWAY • Automatically triggers when severe risk indicators (e.g., critical trismus, fixed neck, or elevated SARI) are detected. • Recommends appropriate flexible bronchoscopy / awake techniques. 4. SAFETY CHECKLISTS & CICO CRISIS AID • Interactive Pre-Induction Checklist covering team briefing, equipment readiness, suction, and drugs. • Real-time CICO (Can't Intubate, Can't Oxygenate) Crisis cognitive aid with step-by-step guidance and a dedicated elapsed timer. 5. CLINICAL NOTE EXPORT & CASE HISTORY • Generates clean, concise, formatted airway notes ready to copy into electronic anaesthetic logs (e.g. Etherlog) or share securely with the clinical team. • Save and review past assessments locally on your device for audit and personal logbooks. 6. 100% PRIVATE & ON-DEVICE • No user account required. • No cloud data transmission: All patient identifiers and assessments remain strictly on your local device. • Theatre-optimised dark mode to reduce glare in low-light operating rooms. --- CLINICAL & MEDICAL DISCLAIMER: Secure Airway is designed strictly as an educational reference and cognitive decision-support aid for trained healthcare professionals. It does not replace clinical evaluation, specialist judgement, or formal medical training. The treating clinician remains fully responsible for all clinical decisions and patient safety.
