Anesthesia-Rx is designed to match the operating room workflow while meeting the medication management needs of pharmacy.

This advanced solution uses a completely touch-screen driven medication dispensing process. The Virtual Pocket™ display technology provides a visual roadmap for users, eliminating the need to type and search for medications.

One of the main benefits of Anesthesia-Rx is improved communication between the surgical areas and the pharmacy. All dispensing activities, including wastes and returns, are transmitted in real time via the Connect-Rx® software platform. Other McKesson products, such as AcuDose-Rx® medication dispensing cabinets, run on Connect-Rx®, providing you with the same formulary, filling, and inventory management capabilities.

WorkflowAnesthesia-Rx workflow is specifically designed for rapid medication selection and dispensing before and during surgical procedures. With only two touches, anesthesia providers have quick access the their medications and narcotics.
