Role of artificial intelligence in haemodynamic monitoring

Abstract

This narrative review explores the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in haemodynamic monitoring, emphasising its potential to revolutionise patient care. The historical reliance on invasive procedures for haemodynamic assessments is contrasted with the emerging non-invasive AI-driven approaches that address limitations and risks associated with traditional methods. Developing the hypotension prediction index and introducing CircEWSTM and CircEWS-lite TM showcase AI’s effectiveness in predicting and managing circulatory failure. The crucial aspects include the balance between AI and healthcare professionals, ethical considerations, and the need for regulatory frameworks. The use of AI in haemodynamic monitoring will keep growing with ongoing research, better technology, and teamwork. As we navigate these advancements, it is crucial to balance AI’s power and healthcare professionals’ essential role. Clinicians must continue to use their clinical acumen to ensure that patient outliers or system problems do not compromise the treatment of the condition and patient safety.
