This article explores the evolving role of ultrasound technology in anesthesia. Ultrasound emerged decades ago, offering clinicians noninvasive, economical, radiation-free, and real-time imaging capabilities. It might seem that such an old technology...
Remote monitoring and artificial intelligence will become common and intertwined in anesthesiology by 2050. In the intraoperative period, technology will lead to the development of integrated monitoring systems that will integrate multiple data strea...
Intravenous (IV) fluids and vasopressor agents are key components of hemodynamic management. Since their introduction, their use in the perioperative setting has continued to evolve, and we are now on the brink of automated administration. IV fluid t...
The last 2 decades have brought important developments in anesthetic technology, including robotic anesthesia. Anesthesiologists titrate the administration of pharmacological agents to the patients' physiology and the needs of surgery, using a variet...
BACKGROUND: The American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status Classification System (ASA-PS) is used to classify patients' health before delivering an anesthetic. Assigning an ASA-PS Classification score to pediatric patients can be challengi...
BACKGROUND: Classification of perioperative risk is important for patient care, resource allocation, and guiding shared decision-making. Using discriminative features from the electronic health record (EHR), machine-learning algorithms can create dig...
Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) are widely used in many different fields of modern medicine. This narrative review gives, in the first part, a brief overview of the methods of ML and AI used in patient blood management (PBM) an...
BACKGROUND: Methods that can automate, support, and streamline the preanesthesia evaluation process may improve resource utilization and efficiency. Natural language processing (NLP) involves the extraction of relevant information from unstructured t...
