Summary

The goal of this observational study is to test the accuracy of an artificial intelligence tool used for identifying ultrasound-guided block regions in healthy volunteer participants. The main question aims to answer is:

• Is the artificial intelligence tool effective for identifying selected ultrasound-guided nerve block regions and their anatomical landmarks?

Three anesthesiology trainees perform ultrasound scanning for 8 nerve block regions on participants. Peripheral nerve and plane block regions are;

* Adductor canal block region
* Axillary brachial plexus block region
* ESP (erector spinae plane) block region
* Femoral block region
* PECS (pectoral) block region
* Popliteal block region
* Rectus sheath block region
* Superficial cervical plexus block region

Conditions

  • Complication Following Peripheral Nerve Block (Diagnosis)

Interventions

DEVICE

Ultrasound via artifical intelligence

The peripheral nerve and plan block regions (adductor canal, axillary brachial plexus, PECS, popliteal, rectus sheath, ESP, femoral, and superficial cervical plexus regions) and related anatomical landmarks are practised by 3 anesthesiology residents who were in the training program of regional anesthesia and qualified to perform ultrasound guided techniques . Then, scans of 8 block types for all 40 volunteers; when the "scan success" gauge on the AI software was 100% at the time the images were saved. Using this procedure, 960 ultrasound images were acquired in both raw and AI-processed forms for expert assessment .
