In recent years, gut microbiome research has directly benefited from the advent of new-generation sequencing technologies and artificial intelligence. Multiple studies have determined its pervasive influence on various aspects of human health, including the functioning of the body and its systems, cognitive and emotional well-being, and the intake and utilization of nutrients. This presentation aims to disseminate the latest studies of the gut microbiome in the field of anesthesia and increase anesthesia professionals’ awareness of the importance of the gut microbiome to anesthesiology and pain medicine.
