Objective:

To assess existing evidence and the translational capabilities of AI in obstetric anesthesiology.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • AI has potential in predicting complications such as preeclampsia and postpartum hemorrhage.
    • Current applications include machine learning-enhanced ultrasound for neuraxial interventions, predicting spinal anesthesia-induced hypotension, and anticipating maternal fever associated with epidurals and pain following cesarean delivery.
    • Most research is retrospective and lacks external validation.
    • Challenges include data variability, algorithmic bias, and difficulties in clinical integration.
    Interpretation:

    Limitations:
    • Retrospective nature of most studies.
    • Lack of external validation for AI models.
    • Variability in data and algorithmic bias.
    Conclusion:
