Prediction of Hypotension
Gratz 2020 [45] Predict the likelihood of post spinal hypotension from arterial stiffness ANN 45 AUC, 0.89; Sn, 0.84; Sp, 0.91 This study demonstrated that arterial stiffness variability is an effective predictor of postinduction hypotension.
Lin 2008 [46] Identify patients with high risk of hypotension during spinal anesthesia ANN 375 AUC, 0.796; Sn, 75.9%; Sp, 76.0% The model should be useful in increasing vigilance in those patients most at risk for hypotension during spinal anesthesia.
Kang 2020 [7] Predict postinduction hypotension from intraoperative data Random Forest; ANN 222 AUC of Random Forest model 0.842; Accuracy 76.28%; Models can predict hypotension occurring during the period between tracheal intubation and incision.
Kendale 2018 [47] Prediction for the risk of postinduction hypotension Gradient boosting machine 13.323 AUC 0.74 The model can forecast postinduction hypotension, with performance dependent on model choice and proper tuning.

Wijnberge 2020 [24] Early warning system of hypotension during noncardiac surgery. Machine Learning 68 Median time of hypotension 8.0 min intervention group vs. 32.7 in control group The use of AI early warning system compared with standard care resulted in less intraoperative hypotension.
Prediction of Hypoxemia

Knorr 2006 [53] Distinguish between normal breathing and obstructed airway events. ANN 10 Accuracy 86.1%; Sn 72.9%; Sp 93.0% The model has potential to distinguishing between normal and obstructed airway events.
Mansoor Baig 2013 [54] Detection of absolute hypovolaemia Fuzzy Logic 20 Kappa value of the best FL model, 0.75 FLMS-2 model has shown to accurately detect differences between the levels of hypovolaemia
Peng 2007 [27] Predict postoperative nausea and vomiting in patients who received general anaesthesia. ANN 430 Accuracy, 83.3%; AUC, 0.814; Sn, 77.9%; Sp 85.0% The ANN model appears to be a suitable model for clinicians to use cost-effective antiemetic treatments.
Ren 2022 [55] Predict the amount of blood transfusion during cesarean section. XGB classifier 150 Accuracy 0.953: AUC 0.881 The XGB model has a strong prediction performance, can offer precise individual predictions for patients, and has a promising future in clinical use.
Santanen 2003 [56] Predict the recovery of a neuromuscular block during general anaesthesia ANN 66 CC 0.91; Mean absolute prediction error 6.75 Model could predict individual recovery times significantly better than the average-based method.
Zhang 2018 [57] Predicts a patient’s ASA using the patient’s home medications and comorbidities. RF 41.932 AUC 0.884; Cohen’s Kappa 0.456; RF algorithm can predict ASA with agreement identical to that of anesthesiologists described in literature.
