AnSo Pro — Pocket Ultrasound Guide for Anaesthetists

AnSo Pro is an educational app built for anaesthetists who need a fast, reliable reference in a hectic operating room. Created by clinicians working in the field, it helps users recognise common sonoanatomy quickly and confidently, whether they are trainees or experienced practitioners.

Visual Library and Color Overlays

The application includes a large visual library — over 250 ultrasound scans — accompanied by approximately 1,500 colour-coded sonoanatomy overlays. These annotated images make it easier to identify structures at a glance and reinforce learning during teaching or on-the-job review.

Practical Capabilities

• Actionable procedural tips and guidance to support safe, efficient technique
• High-resolution innervation maps that show nerve distributions relevant to regional blocks
• Detailed annotated landmark sketches to clarify sonoanatomical relationships

Situations Where It Helps

• Peripheral vascular access — practical views and tips for locating vessels
• Transthoracic echocardiography — focused images for perioperative cardiac assessment
• Airway ultrasound — scans and examples to assist with airway evaluation and management

User Convenience and Workflow Features

The app allows side-by-side comparison of block innervation patterns and offers a flip function to mirror images for left/right orientation. It works completely offline and is free of advertising, so essential information is available anytime without distractions or a network connection.

Other Suggested Option

A commonly listed alternative is the Dexcom G7 (noted as a free option in some recommendations) for users seeking a different solution.
