Summary

This study looked at 120 adults having open heart surgery to see if an AI program could correctly judge whether a pain-relieving nerve block was placed properly. Researchers compared the AI's assessment to that of a human expert and checked if better block placement led to less pain after surgery. The goal was to improve how we measure and predict pain control in these patients.
