Clinical Trial Summary
Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) occur in many patients, especially those with
high risks, and are associated with increased hospital length of stay, morbidity and costs of
care. According to European Perioperative Clinical Outcome definitions, major pulmonary
complications include atelectasis, respiratory infection, pleural effusion, and pneumothorax.
Because identifying patients at high risk for PPCs may allow earlier treatment, predictive
scores ( the Assess Respiratory Risk in Surgical Patients in Catalonia score [ARISCAT]) have
been developed.Lung ultrasound (LUS) is more accurate than chest X-ray in diagnosing
pulmonary complications, and lung ultrasound performed in the postanesthesia care unit may
identify patients at higher risk for pulmonary complications. So we aimed to study if lung
ultrasound can guide the prevention of PPCs in moderate to high risk patients.
Description:
patients recruited are randomized into the two groups: LUS group and Control group. Patients
in LUS group received ultrasound examination and guided the treatment according to the
ultrasound results, while the control group did not receive ultrasound examination, just the
same as the routine clinical practice. This study aims to explore whether ultrasound-guided
clinical treatment can reduce the incidence of postoperative pulmonary complications in
moderate to highrisk patients. Before operation, informed consent was signed according to the
inclusion criteria, and the incidence of pulmonary complications within 5 days after
operation (or before discharge) was recorded after operation.
