Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-65 with ASA physical status class I-II who require gastrointestinal endoscopy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with significant medical history, such as cardiac or metabolic disorders, or those with obesity may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to compare the effectiveness of an AI-controlled anesthesia system against traditional anesthesia administered by clinical professionals during gastrointestinal endoscopy. Participants aged 18-65 with ASA scores I-II will be included, and the study will assess whether the AI model can safely and effectively manage anesthesia. The trial will involve fasting protocols and will evaluate success rates between the two groups to determine if AI can match or exceed the performance of human anesthetists.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance the safety and efficiency of anesthesia management during gastrointestinal procedures.
How similar studies have gone: While the use of AI in anesthesia is an emerging field, similar studies have shown promising results, indicating potential for success.
