Exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in airway management

This review examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) language models, particularly Chat GPT, in airway management. It explores AI's potential applications in education, clinical decision support, patient communication, and research, as well as its integration with existing medical technologies. The review highlights AI's benefits, including rapid access to current information, care standardization, and potential improvements in patient outcomes. However, it also addresses limitations and ethical considerations such as data security, algorithm bias, and the risk of over-reliance on AI systems. Looking forward, the review discusses AI's potential to revolutionize airway management through predictive analytics, augmented reality, and personalized learning platforms, while acknowledging implementation challenges. The broader implications of AI in healthcare are explored, including its impact on learning, innovation, and the balance between error-free decision-making and human creativity. The review concludes that while AI shows great promise in enhancing airway management, its implementation requires careful consideration of ethical implications and ongoing research. The future of AI in this field lies in its judicious use alongside skilled clinical judgment, potentially leading to significant improvements in patient care and outcomes. •Chat GPT offers potential for enhanced airway management education and decision support.•AI integration may standardize care and provide real-time access to updated guidelines.•Challenges include data security, AI reliability, and integration with existing systems.•Future applications: predictive analytics, AR integration, and customized learning platforms.•Hybridization of AI and human cognition may be key to advancing airway management.
