Navigating AI: A Quick Start Guide for Healthcare Professionals.

The rapid and nimble growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare has generated significant excitement among healthcare professionals. The most common question asked by clinicians about AI therefore is: "How do I get started?". We outline a strategic approach for clinicians to integrate AI into their knowledge base, focusing on goal setting, creating a learning roadmap, identifying essential resources, and establishing success metrics.

Timing of Intraoperative Transitions of Care Among Anesthesiologists Is Not Associated With Postoperative Adverse Outcomes: Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: The majority of published research suggests that anesthesia handovers during major surgical procedures are associated with unintended harmful consequences. It is still unclear if the number or quality of the transition of care is the main driver of the adverse outcomes. There is even less data if the timing of the anesthesiologist handovers during the critical portion of the anesthetic continuum (induction or emergence versus surgical period) plays a role in patient outcomes.

Perioperative events during deep brain stimulation: the experience at cleveland clinic.

Background: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the basal ganglia is an evolving technique for managing intractable movement disorders such as those due to Parkinson disease. We conducted a retrospective review of the DBS procedures that have been performed at our institution to determine the frequency and types complications that occurred.

Methods: After Institutional Review Board approval, 258 procedures involving 250 patients were retrospectively reviewed.
