Artificial Intelligence in Anesthesia: What Might the Future Hold? - Abstract
Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into anesthesia has transformed perioperative care offering enhanced precision, real-time decision support, and effective predictive analytics beyond human capabilities. AI is now being frequently used in preoperative assessments, intraoperative monitoring, postoperative management, and has improved patient safety and outcomes. AI implementation is not without challenges, and certain issues persist, such as data quality, algorithmic transparency, potential biases, and ethical concerns that are related to patient privacy and patient autonomy, which pose significant hurdles to clinicians. Beyond its limitations, AI’s potential has also revolutionized anesthesia immensely. AI has promised for bright future where anesthetic care will be more adapted and effective.
