About The Difficult Airway App
The Difficult Airway App (v.3.1)
The Difficult Airway App™ is an essential tool for clinicians who manage emergency airways in any setting: the ED, ICU, in-patient unit or the many EMS practice environments.
THE RIGHT DRUGS, THE RIGHT DOSES, THE RIGHT WAY!
This app rapidly and easily selects the right drugs for RSI, automatically adjusting for obesity and hemodynamics. Pediatric dosing and equipment selection is a snap using the Broselow-Luten color system or the child's estimated weight.
Stay out of trouble! The Difficult Airway App™ guides the user quickly and easily through important algorithms, predictors of the difficult airway, and the step-by-step approach to RSI taught in The Difficult Airway Course: Emergency™.
The Difficult Airway App™ features:
EASY, YET SOPHISTICATED ADULT AND PEDIATRIC DRUG DOSING
• For adult dosing, a few simple clicks bring you to recommended doses that incorporate patient weight, body habitus and hemodynamics.
• The pediatric drug dosing function incorporates the color-coded system created by James Broselow, MD and Robert C. Luten, MD for rapid, safe management of pediatric airway cases.
• The option to customize your formulary means that only the drugs you use will appear in the recommendations.
DECISION-MAKING SUPPORT
• Straight-forward algorithms allow you to quickly determine the best approach to your patient’s airway.
• Easy mnemonics walk you through predictors of a difficult airway, including difficult laryngoscopy (LEMON), difficult BMV (ROMAN), difficult extraglottic device use (RODS) and difficult cricothyrotomy (SMART).
• Pearls of wisdom, based on evidence and expert opinion, are offered throughout.
RAPID SEQUENCE INTUBATION
• The 7 – Ps of RSI: a step-by-step guide for adult and pediatric patients.
• Adult and pediatric RSI drug dosing.
EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES
• Richly detailed illustrations of the airway anatomy.
• Links to information about The Difficult Airway Courses™.
Created by Ron M. Walls, MD, Michael F. Murphy, MD and Robert C. Luten, MD. With significant updates by Calvin A. Brown III, MD.

Jun 29, 2022
The overall look of The Difficult Airway App has been refreshed with a new color scheme and updated navigation. There are minor changes in the SCh Hyperkalemia, Tips & Pearls, Adult 7Ps, Pediatric 7Ps, and Additional Resources sections. A new Acronym Section has been added to define the acronyms used in the app.
On the Adult Patient RSI Calculator, the following adjustments have been made:
- Midazolam will no longer be recommended as an Induction Agent.
- All induction agents are now tagged as “Total Body Weight” drugs unless the patient is obese or morbidly obese, then the induction agents are tagged as “Lean Body Weight” drugs.
- Refined dosing for Propofol based on body habitus.
- Ketamine dosing has been decreased for hypotension.
- The base dose for Rocuronium has been changed from 1 mg/kg to 1.5 mg/kg for NMBA dosing recommendations.

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.
On the adult RSI drug dosing calculator, the highest weight class is now 150 kg (instead of 150+ kg). The doses provided when this option is chosen are most appropriate for patients who weigh 150 kg. For weights greater than 150 kg, please refer to the base dosing schedule found in the “About Calculator” section of the Adult RSI Calculator. Lean body weight should be used for induction agent dosing. See also The Walls Manual of Emergency Airway Management, 5e (Chapter 20).
On the Pediatric Patient RSI Chart, the size of the ET Tube in the Orange Zone has changed from 6.0 cuff to 5.5 cuff.
On the Pediatric Patient RSI Chart, the size of the ET Tube in the Green Zone has changed from 6.5 cuff to 6.0 cuff.
Links in the Additional Resources section were updated to point to our newly redesigned website (www.theairwaysite.com).

This revision introduces the new EMS Difficult Airway Algorithm. This algorithm is modeled after the original Difficult Airway Algorithm but is tailored to the EMS environment. It incorporates predicted difficult airway and experienced difficult airway situations with modifications to account for transport times, local protocols, preference and medical direction.
In the Pediatric RSI section, the stylet size in the Purple Zone was changed from 10 F to 6 F.
