Your patient that day has been risk-stratified preoperatively, and all conditions have been optimized according to the most current guidelines. As you talk to the patient, the preoperative note is updated automatically, aided by an AI voice-recognition technology. Vital signs are monitored remotely. If there is a problem with placing the I.V., the AI-enhanced ultrasound makes it a breeze. On induction, you select what medications to use, an intelligent infusion pump determines a personalized amount for the patient and titrates the doses automatically. During the operative course, EHR-integrated algorithms predict blood loss, duration of surgery, risk for complications, and suggest the best course of action for mitigation. In the PACU, care is optimized by AI models relevant to the specific type of surgery to minimize patient recovery time and to optimize pain control. Additional algorithms can further aid...
