ABSTRACT

Automation is entrenched in our daily lives and aviation provides the safest and most efficient example. The implementation of automation in our speciality has not been as swift as it has been the case in other medical fields, for example, the development of the artificial pancreas - a device that automatically regulates the level of glycaemia - or robotic surgery. A number of automated devices were originally developed for research purposes, for administering inhaled anesthesia, intravenous anesthesia, muscle relaxants, and regional anesthesia.
