Key result
Artificial intelligence and robotics in anesthesia show promise for automating therapeutic procedures and improving clinical decision support, though fully autonomous systems are not yet ready for clinical practice.
Why the study?
Rapid technological development in artificial intelligence and robotics has raised discussions and mixed reactions about their impact on the future practice of anaesthesia and patient care.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
AI and robotics will augment rather than replace anesthesiologists, improving clinical decision-making and automating routine tasks while requiring physician leadership for safe implementation.
Discussions concerning technology's inventive potential are becoming increasingly mainstream as it continues to develop at an exponential rate. This pattern is also present in medicine and the practise of anaesthesia. Among both current and aspiring professionals, discussions about artificial intelligence (AI) provoke a range of emotions, from enthusiasm about its potential to improve patient care to worry about the effect that it could have on future generations of the profession. Despite these mixed reactions, practically everyone can agree that the field of anesthesiology will be affected by future technological developments.

Ahmed Adel Rageh (2023) conducted a review in Anesthesia. Artificial intelligence and robotics vs. Standard manual care was evaluated. Artificial intelligence and robotics in anesthesia show promise for automating therapeutic procedures and improving clinical decision support, though fully autonomous systems are not yet ready for clinical practice.
