Applied Artificial Intelligence in Airway Management: A Narrative Review

Abstract

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing as a revolutionary force in medicine. Growing evidence in clinical practice has set foot into anesthesiology, undertaking all its related tasks. Airway management, a complex multimodal function known as the main proficiency of any anesthesiologist, has also been subjected by AI-assisted technologies. The current study aims to review the potential of AI in the management of airway challenges. Therefore, we classified the current data into several categories to get deep into their development status, as well as introduce further initiatives for future research in this context.
