Testing AI's ability to read TAP block ultrasounds
This trial tests how well artificial intelligence (AI) can interpret ultrasound videos of a nerve block called a TAP block. If you are having planned surgery that includes this block, joining may help improve how blocks are performed in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 85 years old.
- Your general health is classified as ASA I, II, or III (basically healthy to moderate health issues).
- You are having a planned (elective) surgery that includes a lateral TAP block (an injection near your abdomen to numb the area).
- The ultrasound-guided block will be recorded on video.
- You can sign a consent form agreeing to participate.

This study compares how well artificial intelligence and anesthesiologists can identify nerve locations using ultrasound before arm surgery. It helps test whether AI can accurately guide nerve-blocking injections that numb the arm during surgery.
This study is testing a new artificial intelligence tool to help teach doctors how to use ultrasound for numbing nerves during surgery. It's open to anyone who wants to volunteer and is not allergic to ultrasound gel.
This trial tests an artificial-intelligence tool that uses a heart ultrasound to help guide stent treatment. It may help doctors choose the best way to treat blockages and improve stent results for people with symptoms from reduced blood flow to the heart.
This study compares two different ways to give a numbing medicine (TAP block) before abdominal surgery to see which one works better for pain control. If you are scheduled for elective abdominal surgery, joining may help doctors find the best way to manage your pain.
This trial looks at using an artificial intelligence (AI) aid to help internal medicine residents learn how to use point-of-care ultrasound during hospital rotations. It may help you practice faster and improve your ultrasound skills in real-world settings.
This trial studies whether a laparoscopic nerve block (called a TAP block) given during robotic prostate surgery can reduce postoperative pain. It compares comfort after surgery and looks for side effects or issues that could affect results.
