Artificial intelligence-driven anesthesiology and perioperative care may just be around the corner. However, its promises of improved safety and patient outcomes can only become a reality if we take the time to examine its technical, ethical, and moral implications. The aim of perioperative medicine is to diagnose, treat, and prevent disease. As we introduce new interventions or devices, we must take care to do so with a conscience, keeping patient care as the main objective, and understanding that humanism is a core component of our practice. In our article, we outline key principles of artificial intelligence for the perioperative physician and explore limitations and ethical challenges in the field.
人工智能驱动的麻醉学和围手术期护理可能即将到来。然而，如果我们不花时间研究其技术、伦理和道德影响，它提高安全性和患者预后的承诺就只能是泡影。围手术期医学的目的是诊断、治疗和预防疾病。在引入新的干预措施或设备时，我们必须谨慎行事，将患者护理作为主要目标，并认识到人性化是我们实践的核心组成部分。在我们的文章中，我们概述了围手术期医师使用人工智能的关键原则，并探讨了该领域的局限性和伦理挑战。
