• In the last decade, the advancement of ultrasonography (US) technology has increased the image quality, which in turn increased our ability to non-invasively evaluate vascular structures, nerves, fascia, as well as anatomical variations. Key anatomical structures for PNBs may be easily localizable with the use of this assistive technology, especially for the block types which are rarely performed, or in the case of “deep” blocks where imaging is more difficult. [...]using AI guidance to localize the nerve regions could reduce the volume and concentration of anesthetic. [...]more studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of this new AI-based technology, including its impact on the clinical workflows.Declaration of Competing Interest Authors declare no conflict of interest.
