so does the machine also open the patients airway and safely insert the breathing tube ?
- EliRivers 11y agoPerhaps that could be done by one of the many other people there.
- planetjones 11y agoi think it's quite a skilled job and one that if done incorrectly can be fatal. this monitoring of the airways and being able to react is one of the reasons why i think the machine will only ever be a complement and not a replacement for an anesthetist.
- bucketsofdirt 11y agoOr answer codes, sign out medication, or take the patient their consent forms? It's cool, but no replacement for a person.
- Chronic31 11y agoEverything you said will soon be done by a machine. Don't like it? Then go to a lower ranking doctor who doesn't use this technology.
- RobertoG 11y agoThe article is telling specifically that the machine is already replacing a person in some circumstances. The kind of circumstances that it can manage are not going to shrink.
- TheTravCav 11y agowell obviously not. Don't let the article's title get you too riled up. This tool won't be replacing anesthesiologists completely. But this will help with this part of the job. Machines are useful tools and should be though of as such. An anesthesiologists shouldn't worry about this machine anymore than an airplane pilot worries about the autopilot.
