Overview

Too early for clinical adoption in obstetric anesthesia; leaves open the need for prospective validation of risk prediction and neuraxial assistance.

PICO

Intervention / Comparator
Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly influence obstetric anaesthesia through risk prediction, ultrasound assistance, neuraxial dosing, and automated information gathering, though its application remains in its infancy.

Limitations

  • Technological framework constraints and insufficient infrastructure
  • Lack of education and training in artificial intelligence methodology
  • Algorithms trained on non-pregnant populations may not be translatable to obstetric practice
  • Legal and moral dilemmas regarding black-box predictions
