Abstract

In order to discuss the clinical characteristics of patients with scapular fracture, deep learning model was adopted in ultrasound images of patients to locate the anesthesia point of patients during scapular fracture surgery treated with the regional nerve block. 100 patients with scapular fracture who were hospitalized for emergency treatment in the hospital were recruited. Patients in the algorithm group used ultrasound-guided regional nerve block puncture, and patients in the control group used traditional body surface anatomy for anesthesia positioning. The ultrasound images of the scapula of the contrast group were used for the identification of the deep learning model and analysis of anesthesia acupuncture sites. The ultrasound images of the scapula anatomy of the patients in the contrast group were extracted, and the convolutional neural network model was employed for training and test. Moreover, the model performance was evaluated. It was found that the adoption of deep learning greatly improved the accuracy of the image. It took an average of 7.5 ± 2.07 minutes from the time the puncture needle touched the skin to the completion of the injection in the algorithm group (treated with artificial intelligence ultrasound positioning). The operation time of the control group (anatomical positioning) averaged 10.2 ± 2.62 min. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the two groups ( <a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"> <a:mi>p</a:mi> <a:mo>&lt;</a:mo> <a:mn>0.05</a:mn> </a:math> ). The method adopted in the contrast group had high positioning accuracy and good anesthesia effect, and the patients had reduced postoperative complications of patients (all <c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M2"> <c:mi>P</c:mi> <c:mo>&lt;</c:mo> <c:mn>0.005</c:mn> </c:math> ). The deep learning model can effectively improve the accuracy of ultrasound images and measure and assist the treatment of future clinical cases of scapular fractures. While improving medical efficiency, it can also accurately identify patient fractures, which has great adoption potential in improving the effect of surgical anesthesia.
