Ultrasonographic Applications of Novel Technologies and Artificial Intelligence in Critically Ill Patients

The diagnostic process in Intensive Care Units has been revolutionized by ultrasonography and accelerated by artificial intelligence. Patients in critical condition are often sonoanatomically challenging, with time constraints being an additional stress factor. In this paper, we describe the technology behind the development of AI systems to support diagnostic ultrasound in intensive care units. Among the AI-based solutions, the focus was placed on systems supporting cardiac ultrasound, such as Smart-VTI, Auto-VTI, SmartEcho Vue, AutoEF, Us2.ai, and Real Time EF. Solutions to assist hemodynamic assessment based on the evaluation of the inferior vena cava, such as Smart-IVC or Auto-IVC, as well as to facilitate ultrasound assessment of the lungs, such as Smart B-line or Auto B-line, and to help in the estimation of gastric contents, such as Auto Gastric Antrum, were also discussed. All these solutions provide doctors with support by making it easier to obtain appropriate diagnostically correct ultrasound images by automatically performing time-consuming measurements and enabling real-time analysis of the obtained data. Artificial intelligence will most likely be used in the future to create advanced systems facilitating the diagnostic and therapeutic process in intensive care units.
