ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025: Digest Part 1
Q: How will AI and AIMS change real-time anesthesia practice?
AI and AIMS will enhance real-time decision making, offer predictive analytics, and provide decision support, but require transparency into how AI recommendations are generated and trust built with clinicians.
Adrian Gelb on Neuroanesthesia, Global Patient Safety, and WFSA-WHO International Standards
Q: Can you tell us a little more about yourself and how you arrived at neuroanesthesia?
Gelb describes a career path from Cape Town to Canada, where exposure to ICU and operating room environments led him to neuroanesthesia, initially with reluctance but eventual fascination through hands-on collaboration with neurosurgeons.
The Challenges of AI in Healthcare: A Conversation with Dr. Joe Alderman
Q: Fantastic. First of all, Joe, before we get into the AI question specifically, can you tell us a bit more about what made you make that switch perhaps?
I moved into AI and digital healthcare opportunistically after seeing a PhD opportunity that aligned with my interests, and I joined a team with mentors who supported that shift, ultimately focusing on governance, regulation, and policy to ensure AI technologies benefit patients and society while protecting them from harm.
Insights from ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2025: Surgical Site Infections, Oxygen Therapy, and Thermoregulation
Q: What are some of the thresholds that we're looking at for temperature management?
Current recommendations suggest aiming for at least 36 degrees Celsius, especially during the intraoperative period.
