Artificial intelligence and "the Art of Kintsugi" in Anesthesiology: ten influential papers for clinical users.

Artificial intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. In the present review we chose ten influential papers from the last five years and through Kintsugi, shed the light on recent evolution of artificial intelligence in anesthesiology. A comprehensive search in in Medline, Embase, Web of Science and Scop...

Optimal machine learning methods for prediction of high-flow nasal cannula outcomes using image features from electrical impedance tomography.

BACKGROUND: High-flow nasal cannula (HNFC) is able to provide ventilation support for patients with hypoxic respiratory failure. Early prediction of HFNC outcome is warranted, since failure of HFNC might delay intubation and increase mortality rate. Existing methods require a relatively long period to identify the failure (approximately 12 h) and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) may help iden...
