Pulmonary Atelectasis, Postoperative Clinical Trial
Official title:
Postoperative Atelectasis in Pediatric Patients With Prone Position : Effect of Repetitive Alveolar Recruitment by Lung Ultrasound
This study evaluates the incidence of postoperative atelectasis after general anesthesia with prone position using lung ultrasound in children age < 3 years.
Atelectasis is common in pediatric patients after general anesthesia. Particularly, infants
are more likely to develop atelectasis or ventilation-perfusion imbalance after general
anesthesia because of the immature ribs and respiratory muscles, the high compliance of the
rib cage and a significant reduction in functional residual capacity (FRC) during general
anesthesia. Previous studies have reported that alveolar recruitment and positive
end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) can be used to reduce atelectasis in children. Also, previous
studies have shown that the lung ultrasound can be used to evaluate the degree of atelectasis
during general anesthesia in children.
However, none of the previous studies investigated the incidence of atelectasis, the effect
of alveolar recruitment, and the PEEP in pediatric patients under general anesthesia with
prone position. The purpose of this study was to evaluate previously described parameters
using lung ultrasound.
