Development of an App to look up the anesthetic implications of genetic syndromes and rare diseases in patients.

Introduction: Orphan diseases are a heterogeneous group of conditions involving the structure and functioning of several organs and systems; this represents a significant challenge for the anesthesiologist and the surgical team. Specific knowledge of each disease reduces the risk of any adverse even...

        Introduction: Orphan diseases are a heterogeneous group of conditions involving the structure and functioning of several organs and systems; this represents a significant challenge for the anesthesiologist and the surgical team. Specific knowledge of each disease reduces the risk of any adverse events secondary to perioperative management errors in these patients. Objective: Developing a strategy to quickly and effectively look up for the perioperative risks of patients with rare diseases. Methods: An academic literature review was conducted and the information available in databases was selected. A group of engineers and designers summarized the information and developed a software application for mobile devices, to look up at a list of rare diseases, their description, any surgical implications, and the most relevant anesthetic considerations. Results: The CARAN App (CARAN is the Spanish acronym for Rare Cases in Anesthesia) was developed, which may be downloaded into any iOS (Apple) and Android mobile device at no cost. The App makes available information on the major anesthetic implications, with a view to improving patient care safety. This article discusses the first part of the project which comprises the development and design of the App and the review of 60 diseases. Additional diseases are expected to be included in the second phase of the project. Conclusion: We are introducing the first App available in Spanish to quickly and effectively look up for the most relevant anesthetic implications in 60 rare diseases.
        Introducción: Las enfermedades huérfanas son un grupo heterogéneo de patologías que comprometen la estructura y el funcionamiento de varios órganos y sistemas, lo que representa un enorme reto para el anestesiólogo y el equipo quirúrgico. El conocimiento específico de cada enfermedad disminuye el riesgo de eventos adversos secundario a errores en el manejo perioperatorio de estos pacientes. Objetivo: Desarrollar una estrategia que permita consultar de manera rápida y efectiva los riesgos perioperatorios de pacientes con enfermedades raras. Métodos: Se hizo una revisión académica de la literatura y se seleccionó la información disponible en las bases de datos. Un grupo de ingenieros y diseñadores sintetizaron la información y desarrollaron la aplicación para dispositivos móviles, donde se puede consultar una lista de enfermedades raras, su descripción, las implicaciones quirúrgicas y las consideraciones anestésicas más relevantes. Resultados: Se creó la aplicación CARAN=Casos raros en anestesia, la cual se puede descargar gratis en dispositivos móviles con sistemas operativos iOS (Apple) y Android; esta aplicación nos brinda información sobre las principales implicaciones anestésicas, con el propósito de mejorar la seguridad en la atención del paciente. Se presenta aquí la primera parte del proyecto, que consiste en la creación y el diseño de la aplicación, y la revisión de 60 enfermedades. Se espera que en una segunda fase se incluyan más enfermedades. Conclusión: Presentamos la primera aplicación disponible en español para consultar de forma rápida y efectiva las principales implicaciones anestésicas de 60 enfermedades raras.
