Ultrasound-guided Lung Recruitment Maneuvers for Postoperative Pediatric Atelectasis

Egypt90 participantsStarted 2022-12-01

Plain-language summary

In anesthetized children, the incidence of lung collapse with episodes of hypoxemia is high. Diaphragmatic dysfunction induced by general anesthesia is one of the most important factors in the genesis of regional losses of lung aeration. The mass of the abdominal organs pushes the diaphragm cranially compressing the lungs in the most dependent areas. Such regional lung collapse may range from a slight loss of aeration to complete atelectasis.
