Patients With ASA Status I-III Scheduled for Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Incidence of Intraoperative Positive Air-Test
Although imaging techniques are the reference standard to diagnose alveolar collapse, in the
postoperative period and using the peripheral hemoglobin oxygen saturation (SpO2), a
non-invasive simple and accurate test (Air-Test) was recently validated to diagnose alveolar
collapse.
The aim of this study is to non-invasively describe the incidence of intraoperative
atelectasis with the Air-Test in an unselected surgical population. In addition, we attempt
to describe the association between positive Air-Test and the patient´s preoperative or
intraoperative variables.
