Introducing the NAVAS VetACT Mobile App
Veterinary Anesthesia Crisis Tool
A mobile app for veterinarians to reference during critical events, helping to reduce cognitive load during high-stress veterinary anesthesia procedures:
Reduction in Missed Steps
Cognitive aids significantly improve the completion of necessary steps, compared to relying on memory
Critical events checklists
Recognition over recall - supports a shared mental model amongst team members
Rapid Dx, Tx, and drug dosing
Critical events and high-stress emergencies limit human performance in communication, teamwork, and memory recall
