Abstract

Although intensive care medicine (ICM) is a relatively young discipline, it has rapidly developed into a full-fledged and highly specialized specialty covering several fields of medicine. The COVID-19 pandemic led to a surge in intensive care unit demand and also bring unprecedented development opportunities for this area. Multiple new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) were gradually being applied in this field. In this study, through an online survey, we have summarized the potential uses of ChatGPT/GPT-4 in ICM range from knowledge augmentation, device management, clinical decision-making support, early warning systems, and establishment of intensive care unit (ICU) database.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence; Biomedical engineering; Chatbot; GPT-4; New era.
