BACKGROUND: In this paper, we examine whether machine learning and deep learning can be used to predict difficult airway intubation in patients undergoing thyroid surgery.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of using deep learning segmentation for endotracheal tube (ETT) position on frontal chest x-rays (CXRs).
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop artificial intelligence (AI) system that assists in checking endotracheal tube (ETT) placement on chest X-rays (CXRs) and evaluate whether it can move into clinical validation as a quality improvement tool.
Preoperative assessment of the difficulty of tracheal intubation is of great importance in anesthesia practice because failed intubation can lead to severe complications and even death. The Mallampati score is widely used as a critical assessment cri...
Chest CT is a useful initial exam in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) for assessing lung damage. AI-powered predictive models could be useful to better allocate resources in the midst of the pandemic. Our aim was to build a deep-lear...
BACKGROUND: Improper endotracheal tube (ETT) positioning is frequently observed and potentially hazardous in the intensive care unit. The authors developed a deep learning-based automatic detection algorithm detecting the ETT tip and carina on portab...
