Brief Summary
|
This study aims to understand what Indian Anesthesiologists think about using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Ultrasoung guided Regional Anesthesia (UGRA), which is commonly used for pain relief during surgery. It focuses on ethical concerns such as patient privacy, safety, and responsibility in case of errors, how AI may affect medical education and training for future doctors. This study will be done through an online questionnaire among anesthesiologists across India. The results will help shape ethical guidelines and improve medical teaching related to AI. Participation is voluntary, confidential and involves no risks or costs to the participant. |
