Closing the gap: artificial intelligence applied to ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia.

In British journal of anaesthesia ; h5-index 72.0

The role of artificial intelligence in ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia is explored in a recent study by Bowness and colleagues, published in the British Journal of Anaesthesia. The investigators showed that non-expert ability to identify key sono-anatomical structures was improved with the assistance of proprietary artificial intelligence software. Whether such software could increase learning efficiency, and thereby patient access, to regional anaesthesia, will require further study.
