TaglineBedside ICU and ward pathways, scores and drug calculators 58 characters — fits Product Hunt's 60.

Short descriptionA clinical reference for critical care and internal medicine: ICU chapters and decision pathways, worked ward cases, ICU scores and bedside drug calculators, each cited to a named guideline.

Long descriptionICU Decoded is a bedside reference for acute medicine, written by Dr Javed Akhtar, an MD postgraduate trainee (MD Pgt) at Murshidabad Medical College & Hospital, and checked by a panel of practising doctors. It has three parts. ICU Decoded covers critical care in 92 chapters and 147 decision pathways, each cited to a named guideline. Ward Pathways lays out 87 internal medicine cases as the actual sequence of decisions: what to check first, what to order, when to escalate. Aladin Chirag has 50 bedside calculators and consoles for drug infusions, ventilation, fluids and electrolytes, CRRT, ECMO and temporary pacing. There are also 37 ICU scoring tools. It is built for residents, intensivists and critical care nurses, and works in any browser and on Android. The chapters, cases and calculators are never sold: part of them is open to everyone, and the rest opens free with a referral from a member. OPD, the outpatient drug reference, is free for the first month after sign-in and then comes with any plan.
