Applications of artificial intelligence in intensive care medicine
Keywords:
Artificial intelligence, Patient safety, Intensive care unitsAbstract
Introduction: intensive care medicine is a specialty that offers comprehensive and specialized medical care to patients with critical or life-threatening conditions. The artificial intelligence has revolutionized critical patient safety by providing innovative tools that optimize care and reduce risks in intensive care. Objective: to describe the fundamental advances of artificial intelligence in intensive medicine. Method: a bibliographic review was carried out in the period from August to October 2024. Original articles, case reports and open access systematic reviews were consulted in peer-reviewed academic publications. The SciELO, Regmed, Dialnet, PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science and MedlinePlus databases were reviewed. AND and OR were used as Boolean operators. Development: in intensive care, most artificial intelligence models focus on mortality prediction and risk stratification. The application of robotics in the medical field is extensive with countless functions. It allows identifying risk patterns such as agitated patients or those at risk of falls through continuous monitoring and analysis of sedation, brain activity and muscle relaxation. Conclusions: advances in artificial intelligence have revolutionized intensive care medicine by allowing continuous monitoring of vital signs and prediction of complications, facilitating early and personalized interventions.
