The document discusses the future uses of smartphones in anesthesia practice. It begins by asking attendees of a lecture questions about their current smartphone use and willingness to learn new things using smartphones. The outline then covers definitions of smartphones, their history and features. Current uses of smartphones in medicine and anesthesia are discussed, including various anesthesia apps. Future potential uses are also presented, such as fully integrated smartphone control of anesthesia machines and monitoring through connections to machines and sensors. The take home message is that in the future, smartphones will help anesthesiologists and may even largely replace their functions through advanced technology and dedicated apps.

5. History
Anaesthesia
The first documented general
anaesthetics was performed
by Crawford W. Long in 1842
The first public demonstration of
general anaesthesia was in 1846
by a Boston dentist
named William T.G. Morton at
the Massachusetts General
Hospital.
Smartphone
Devices that combined telephony
and computing were first
conceptualized by Theodore
Paraskevakos in 1971 and
patented in 1974, and were
offered for sale beginning in 1993
The term "smart phone" first
appeared in print in 1995, for
describing AT&T's "Phone Writer
Communicator" as a "smart
phone"

46. Smart Anesthesia Manager (SAM)
A Real-time Decision Support System for Anesthesia Care during Surgery
Anaesthesia information management systems (AIMS) are being
increasingly used in the operating room to document anaesthesia care.
We developed a system, Smart Anaesthesia Manager TM (SAM) that
works in conjunction with an AIMS to provide clinical and billing
decision support. SAM interrogates AIMS database in near real time,
detects issues related to clinical care, billing and compliance, and
material waste. Issues and the steps for their resolution are brought to
the attention of the anaesthesia provider in real time through “pop-
up” messages overlaid on top of AIMS screens or text pages. SAM
improved compliance to antibiotic initial dose and redoes. SAM was
also able to reduce wastage of inhalation anaesthetic agents.

52. This robotic system named The Kepler Intubation System (KIS), developed by Dr.
Thomas M. Hemmerling, McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) specialist and
McGill University Professor of Anesthesia and his team, may facilitate the
intubation procedure and reduce some complications associated with airway
management. The world’s first robotic intubation in a patient was performed at
the Montreal General Hospital
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4PK7NYXGmM
52TMC

53. Pharmacological Robots: (McSleepy Anaesthesia Robot)
> Developed at McGill University by Dr Hemmerling and his team
> Three components of anaesthesia – Hypnosis, Analgesia and Muscle relaxation
automatically controlled from induction to emergence
> Patient data of height, weight, age, ASA classification, type of surgery, any specific drugs like
beta blocker which can interfere with the system and additional information like concomitant
neuro-axial blockade is uploaded to the computer system
> The system will use the pharmacodynamics results to categorize the patient’s pharmacological
“personality” and adapt doses accordingly
> Maintenance of anaesthesia is provided through integrated closed loop control of hypnosis,
analgesia and muscle relaxant using BIS score, Analgoscore and muscle twitch monitor
> Drugs used are propofol, remifentanil and rocuronium or cisatracurium
> McSleepy needs to know the stage of surgery , so there three options like prepping , incision
and 20 minutes to end , accordingly the doses will be adjusted or stopped 53TMC

54. Robotic ultrasound-guided nerve blocks
( The Magellan system)
> Developed at McGill University by Dr Hemmerling and his team
> A robotic system, Magellan, to perform nerve blocks using a remote control centre
> The Magellan system consists of 3 main components: a joystick, a robotic arm, and a
software control system
> The success rate was 100%
> The total performance time was approximately 3 minutes to 4 minutes

55. SmartBot: Smartphone Robot
SmartBot is a programmable
Smartphone robot for
entertainment, education
and health that uses your
Smartphone (Android,
iPhone, or Windows Phone )
or a programmable
development board as its
brain, sensors and interfaces
Useful in future Anaesthesia Practice 55TMC

56. So Smartphone in Anesthesia
• Offers a computing device,
power source and display to
which we can attach wide
variety of physiological sensors.
• This can include noninvasive
ECG, EEG, Oxygen Saturation,
Hemoglobin, glucose, blood
pressure, spirometry,
temperature, energy
expenditure, height and weight.
• In built sensors used to measure
vital signs e.g. accelerometer for
respiratory activity, camera for
Heart rate, and RR
• In general Smartphone is
used for information
resource to guide care, for
patient assessment, deliver
e-learning, as a logbook, for
tele- consultation and
remote support.
• In future as true friend of
anesthesiologist for
complete monitoring of
patient during
Peri-Operative period
56TMC

57. 1) Pre Assessment of patient with all details including Personal history, Medical history,
Physical examination, Lab. Investigations etc. will be recorded in dedicated apps in
Smartphone
2) Smartphone will be attached to anesthesia machine by usb, sensors, modules and apps
3) From induction, monitoring, drug selection with doses and intra operative decision will be
taken by Smartphone according to patient’s history and operation
4) Fluid management will be decided by Smartphone according to NBM and Blood Loss
5) Practically Smartphone will act as an anesthesiologist and only intubation and extubation
will be in hand of anesthetist
6) Even Intubation and extubation will also done by robotic assisted anesthesia in future
Anesthesiologist will only Monitor Smartphone
57TMC

58. Practical uses of Smartphone in jj private practice
• For discussion of cases in
whatsapp forum in our
academic groups
• In OT, during free time to
refer anesthesia textbooks
and journal articles
• For dose calculation of
different drugs
• To take photos and videos of
good cases for reference and
discussion
• To take instant help of other
colleagues by phone, social
medias or by video chat
• Most important use of
Smartphone is for virtual
pre anesthesia checkup by
phone calls or videos and
seeing all investigation on
Smartphone
• Post operative follow up of
patient
• For paperless record of all
my cases in log book app
• Lastly in crisis management
Smartphone is most useful
for me for everything to
manage the patient 58TMC

59. Take Home Message
In near future Smartphone will help and act as
good companion to Anesthesiologist
Smartphone will reduce morbidity and mortality
rates due to precise and meticulous planning of
each case through advanced technology and
dedicated anesthesia apps
All anesthesiologist will monitor patient through
their Smartness and Smartphone
59TMC

60. Increasingly future Smartphone technology and
sophisticated anesthetic delivery with monitoring
systems are inevitable
They are great when everything works well, but
understanding enough about those technology and
systems to know what to do when things go wrong is
a significant challenge
Anesthesiologist should ensure that they are familiar
with this before they first time use them
It is not a magic in future 60TMC

61. Finally, I will say that
Surgeon saves the life of patient
Anesthesiologist saves the lives of patient and surgeon
But, Smartphone will save the lives of patient, surgeon and anesthesiologist
