Gasshead.com started on a grass roots level to build clinical tools for the anesthesia professional in mind. Built by clinicians for clinicians, Anesthesia Clinical Tutor & Calculator (ACTc) bridges the gap between clinical anesthesia reference books (converted to a PDA format) and practical functioning software. It is Gasshead.com's goal to bring together clinicians worldwide in developing ACTc. ACTc is a collection of common and uncommon tools that anesthesia providers have used in developing their own clinical practice. It not only presents valuable anesthetic focused information, but also shows the process used in generating that information.


ACTc never stops growing and evolving. With registered users in over 65 different countries and testers in Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, ACTc will continue to evolve and grow with each generation of professionals.
