Welcome back to the Women's Digital Health Podcast! In this bonus episode, I’m diving into how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming anesthesia and postoperative care. 

First, I explain the essential roles of anesthesiologists, which go beyond just putting patients to sleep. Next, I introduce some key vocabulary terms related to AI in anesthesia. Then, we explore how AI is actively assisting anesthesiologists in real-time scenarios during surgery. Finally, I address some common myths about AI in healthcare, particularly in the field of anesthesia.

Topics include: 

  • Understanding the role of anesthesiologists and why we aren't just the people who put you to sleep for surgery. 
  • The role of AI in analyzing past data and helping anesthesiologists stay one step ahead
  • Busting myths about AI in healthcare, such as the idea that AI will replace doctors.

Many people fear that AI will replace doctors, but the reality is that AI serves as a decision-support tool, enhancing the expertise of anesthesiologists rather than replacing it. It’s essential to recognize that while AI can improve patient outcomes, the human touch and judgment remain irreplaceable in the medical field.
