Study Overview

Brief Summary

Investigators hypothesized that lung ultrasound-assisted recruitment maneuver would be beneficial in mechanically ventilated infants compared to those who did not receive lung ultrasound and alveolar recruitment maneuver.

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

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Postoperative incidence of pulmonary atelectasis

Time Frame: within the first day after the surgery

Secondary Outcomes

  • Intraoperative incidence of pulmonary atelectasis after endotracheal intubation(from the moment of endotracheal intubation until the end of surgery, up to 6 hours)
  • Intraoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value)(from the induction of general anesthesia until the end of the surgery, up to 6 hours)
  • Postoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value)(within the first day after the surgery)
