Artificial intelligence and robotics in regional anesthesia

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is vital for practitioners to incorporate AI and robotics in day-to-day regional anesthesia practice. Recent literature is encouraging on its applications in regional anesthesia, but the data are limited. AI can help us identify and guide the needle tip precisely to the location. This may help us reduce the time, improve precision, and reduce the associated side effects of improper distribution of drugs. In this article, we discuss the potential roles of AI and robotics in regional anesthesia.
