BACKGROUND: Pediatric patients under general anesthesia are particularly vulnerable to hypoxemia, which can lead to rapid oxygen desaturation. This vulnerability necessitates heightened vigilance from anesthesiologists, making pediatric anesthesia ma...
INTRODUCTION: Difficult intubation is one of the most challenging scenarios to deal with due to increased morbidity and mortality. Machine learning systems can help predict this process in advance. This study aimed to predict whether patients had dif...
BACKGROUND: Adequate ventilation in mechanically ventilated patients is contingent upon the monitoring of the arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) during general anesthesia. Despite its significance, continuous monitoring remains chall...
BACKGROUND: Postinduction hypotension is a well-known risk factor for adverse postoperative outcomes. Anesthesiologists estimate anesthetic dosages based on a patient's chart and domain knowledge. Machine learning is increasingly applied in predictin...
BACKGROUND: Children commonly experience high levels of anxiety prior to surgery. This distress is associated with postoperative maladaptive behaviors. Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative tool for reducing anxiety and pain during various medical pr...

INTRODUCTION: Accurate and timely discharge from the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) is essential to prevent postoperative complications and optimize hospital resource utilization. Premature discharge can lead to severe issues such as respiratory or...
BACKGROUND: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) is a frequently observed complication in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. Moreover, it is a frequent cause of distress and dissatisfaction in the early postoperative period. Cu...

The administration of propofol for sedation or general anesthesia presents challenges due to the complex relationship between patient factors and real-time physiological responses. This study explores the application of deep reinforcement learning (D...
Monitoring nociception under general anesthesia remains challenging due to the complexity of pain pathways and the limitations of single-parameter methods. In this study, we introduce a multimodal approach that integrates electroencephalogram (EEG), ...
