Ledgeworks

About this app

PulmTools is a focused respiratory and critical care toolkit for clinicians and learners. Interpret ABGs and VBGs, use clinical calculators and references, practice realistic cases, and follow learning or de-identified results over time.

Start without registration. Core calculators and educational content are available in guest mode, while a free account enables synchronized progress and saved trends.

INTERPRET ABGs & VBGs

• Enter arterial or venous blood gas values through focused workflows.
• Review pH status, likely primary patterns, expected compensation, and applicable oxygenation context.
• See measured values alongside a structured interpretation.
• Review methodology, limitations, and linked references within applicable tools.

EXPLORE RESPIRATORY & CRITICAL CARE TOOLS

Use focused calculators and references for:

• Ventilator mechanics, minute ventilation, and static compliance
• P/F ratio, A–a gradient, ROX index, oxygenation, and ARDS context
• Fick cardiac output, hemodynamics, MAP, and shock index
• Oxygen tank duration and respiratory support
• Umbilical cord and capillary blood gases
• Asthma and pulmonology references
• Pulmonary risk and clinical-reference workflows
• ECMO referral context and additional critical care tools

LEARN THROUGH REALISTIC CASES

• Build arterial blood gas interpretation skills with ABGenius.
• Practice venous blood gas patterns with VBGenius.
• Receive immediate feedback and clear explanations.
• Use adaptive review and spaced repetition to revisit concepts that need more practice.
• Follow accuracy, streaks, review readiness, and learning progress.

SAVE & COMPARE TRENDS

With a free account, you can:

• Save calculator snapshots using non-identifying case aliases.
• Compare measurements over time while retaining relevant clinical context.
• Open focused trend analyses for supported tools.
• Sync learning progress and saved trends across devices.

RESET & REFOCUS

Use PulmReset and guided Box Breathing for breathing practice and personal reflection between demanding moments.
