Artificial intelligence in anaesthesiology shows promise in predicting patient risk, managing drug dosages, and monitoring vital signs more effectively than traditional methods.
Introduction.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science where hardware and software systems enable machines to think and act like humans.AI utilizes different algorithms and computational resources to perform intelligent tasks autonomously.AI techniques applied in clinical decision support have proven effective across various medical disciplines, including clinical anaesthesia.Objective.The aim of this review is to explore the areas of anaesthesiology where artificial intelligence is utilized, the benefits of this implementation, and to define ethical dilemmas connected with using AI technology.Review Methods.PubMed and Google Scholar databases were searched using key words.Original articles in English, published between 2018-2024 were included.Brief description of the state of knowledge.AI is a rapidly developing field, notable particularly for its increasing application across various domains, including anaesthesiology.The amount of research on AI in anesthesia is growing.Summary.AI has shown considerable promise in various aspects of anaesthesiology, from pre-operative to post-operative care.AI-driven systems predict patient risk, manage drug dosages, administer drugs, and monitor vital signs more effectively than traditional methods.Its applications in anaesthesia can enhance patient outcomes through more personalized and precise interventions, optimize resource allocation, and improve overall efficiency in clinical practice.It also facilitates real-time decision-making and pro-active management of potential complications.However, AI cannot entirely replace the nuanced understanding and empathetic care provided by human professionals.As AI technology advances, legal and ethical standards must also evolve.
Bogoń et al. (Mon,) conducted a review in Anaesthesiology. Artificial intelligence vs. Traditional methods was evaluated. Artificial intelligence in anaesthesiology shows promise in predicting patient risk, managing drug dosages, and monitoring vital signs more effectively than traditional methods.
