Emerging Robotic Innovations and Artificial Intelligence in Endotracheal Intubation and Airway Management: Current State of the Art

Abstract

Robotic sciences have rapidly advanced and revolutionized various aspects of medicine, including the field of airway management. Robotic endotracheal intubation is an innovative method that utilizes robotic systems to aid in the accurate placement of an endotracheal tube within the trachea. This cutting-edge technique shows great promise in improving procedural precision and ensuring patient safety. In this comprehensive overview, we delve into the present status of robotic-assisted endotracheal intubation, examining its advantages, obstacles, and the potential implications it holds for the future. In addition, this review encompasses a comprehensive analysis of the existing literature and references on recent advances in robotic technology and artificial intelligence related to airway management.
