Point-of-care ultrasound in obstetric anesthesia clinical practice.

Current opinion in anaesthesiology
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly recognized as a valuable tool in obstetric anesthesia. This review synthesizes key studies and reviews published within the last 2 years on its application in clinical practice w...

Artificial intelligence-created personal statements compared with applicant-written personal statements: a survey of obstetric anesthesia fellowship program directors in the United States.

International journal of obstetric anesthesia
BACKGROUND: A personal statement is a common requirement in medical residency and fellowship applications. Generative artificial intelligence may be used to create a personal statement for these applications.

Artificial intelligence in obstetric anaesthesiology - the future of patient care?

International journal of obstetric anesthesia
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in obstetric anaesthesiology shows great potential in enhancing our practice and delivery of care. In this narrative review, we summarise the current applications of AI in four key areas of obstetric anaesthesi...

Machine learning approach to needle insertion site identification for spinal anesthesia in obese patients.

BMC anesthesiology
BACKGROUND: Ultrasonography for neuraxial anesthesia is increasingly being used to identify spinal structures and the identification of correct point of needle insertion to improve procedural success, in particular in obesity. We developed an ultraso...

A prediction model using machine-learning algorithm for assessing intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine dose during cesarean section.

BMC anesthesiology
BACKGROUND: The intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine dosage for cesarean section is difficult to predetermine. This study aimed to develop a decision-support model using a machine-learning algorithm for assessing intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine dose...

Investigating a Needle-Based Epidural Procedure in Obstetric Anesthesia.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
This study investigates the safety and efficacy of a large-dose, needle-based epidural technique in obstetric anesthesia. The technique differs from a standard, catheter-based approach in that the anesthetic dose is administered through an epidural n...

Use of Topical Lidocaine Gel Plus Paracervical Blockade vs. Paracervical Blockade Alone for Pain Management During Manual Vacuum Aspiration: ADouble-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Trial.

Journal of obstetrics and gynaecology Canada : JOGC = Journal d'obstetrique et gynecologie du Canada : JOGC
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if the use of lidocaine gel applied to the cervix prior to manual vacuum aspiration (MVA) in addition to paracervical blockade is useful in reducing the level of pain associated with the procedure.

Minimum effective fluid volume of colloid to prevent hypotension during caesarean section under spinal anesthesia using a prophylactic phenylephrine infusion: An up-down sequential allocation study.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to de termine the minimum effective fluid volume (MEFV) of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) infused in a preload fashion which would prevent hypotension in 50% of parturients undergoing caesarean section. A...
