The premise
AI can pull labs, meds, prior anesthesia records, and comorbidities into a coherent pre-op brief — but classifying the patient's risk and choosing the technique stays with the anesthesiologist.
What AI does well here
- Aggregate prior anesthesia events and complications
- Surface drug interactions relevant to anesthesia
- Draft a structured airway and cardiac risk recap
What AI cannot do
- Assign an ASA class without exam
- Decide regional vs general anesthesia
- Replace the bedside airway evaluation
