Think of me as your knowledge assistant. I’m here to shine a light on answers to your questions by retrieving responses from Anesthesiology®, ASA committee resources, and ASA Standards, Guidelines, and Statements. Please don’t compare me to that extroverted ChatGPT—I’m here just for members like you with a focus on content and information not widely or publicly available, which makes me more interesting and relevant for you.
As much as I hate to admit it, I’m not human or a doctor! As an AI machine, my answers should be treated as non-authoritative and should not substitute for clinical judgment. Being my friend requires you to agree to these Terms of Use.
While I aim to guide you to helpful information, I don’t always get it right. Please don’t cite or rely on me as a definitive source. Rate my response with a thumbs up or thumbs down so I can keep learning!
BeaconBot is still learning and improving from the feedback you share. If you like the answer, give it some encouragement with a thumbs up. If the answer could be better, don’t be shy. Give it a thumbs down and explain why the answer didn’t meet your expectations. No person—or chatbot—is perfect. For BeaconBot to be as useful as possible, it needs your help to learn from your input and feedback.
BeaconBot has been trained specifically on ASA member-exclusive content: Anesthesiology®, ASA committee resources, and ASA Standards, Guidelines, and Statements. You’ll see links to the source content and specifically referenced articles included in every answer so you can dive deeper.
