The Application Of Lung Ultrasound In Postoperative Hypoxemia Patients

Conditions
Hypoxemia
Registration Number
NCT03802175
Lead Sponsor
Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

Postoperative hypoxemia was persistent and common after surgery.Rapid diagnosis and subsequent therapeutic measures must be adopted by anesthesiologists.Lung ultrasound has been confirmed to be more sensitive and accurate for diagnosis of pulmonary ailment than chest radiography.The primary objective of the present study was to evaluate lung complications by bedside lung ultrasonography on patients suffered from hypoxemia after general anesthesia in the postoperative period.
