Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Minor surgery less than 2 hours under general anesthesia
  • Mechanically ventilated after endotracheal intubation

Exclusion criteria

  • History of surgery on the lungs
  • Laparoscopic surgery
  • Abnormal preoperative chest radiograph findings including atelectasis, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and pneumonia
  • Considered inappropriate by the investigator

Treatment and study plan

Lung ultrasound

Device

Lung ultrasound on both hemithorax in supine position

Primary outcomes

  1. Postoperative incidence of pulmonary atelectasis

    Time frame: within the first day after the surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intraoperative incidence of pulmonary atelectasis after endotracheal intubation

    Time frame: from the moment of endotracheal intubation until the end of surgery, up to 6 hours

  2. Intraoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value)

    Time frame: from the induction of general anesthesia until the end of the surgery, up to 6 hours

  3. Postoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value)

    Time frame: within the first day after the surgery
