No. General anesthesia is a risky procedure, requiring constant one-on-one monitoring by a anesthesiologist.

Sounds like an industry ready for disruption. If only these damn regulations weren't holding us back.

/s (sort of).

GE has been trying to disrupt anesthesia for quite some time:

Edit: Since its not obvious, they have some machines that can go in autonomous mode and alert the hospital if the patient needs an actual doctor to fix something.

Can you show me a GE product which doesn't need an anesthesiologist present at all times?

As far as I can tell, none of those devices acts autonomously or even close to it.
