Controlling Level of Unconsciousness by Titrating Propofol with Deep Reinforcement Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Reinforcement Learning (RL) can be used to fit a mapping from patient state to a medication regimen. Prior studies have used deterministic and value-based tabular learning to learn a propofol dose from an observed anesthetic state. Deep RL replaces the table with a deep neural network and has been used to learn medication regimens from registry ...

Factors associated with Taiwan anesthesiologists' intention to leave anesthesia practice
Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2015 Anesthesiologists in Taiwan had the heaviest workload compared with other Taiwanese specialists. In a previous study, anesthesia-related mortality was >12 times the rate reported in the USA, UK, and Japan. Nine percent of Taiwanese anesthesiologists left
