Abstract

Ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia is used to facilitate the real-time performance of the regional block, increase the block success and reduce the complication rate. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been studied in many medical disciplines with high success rates, especially radiology. The purpose of this article was to review the evolution of AI in regional anaesthesia. The role of AI is to identify and optimise the sonography image, display the target, guide the practitioner to advance the needle tip to the intended target and inject the local anaesthetic. AI supports non-experts in training and clinical practice and experts in teaching ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia.
