Overview

Brief Summary

Anesthesia-induced atelectasis is a well-known entity observed in approximately 68-100% of pediatric patients undergoing general anesthesia. The collapse of dependent lung zones starts with anesthesia induction but can persist for hours or even days after surgery. Such anesthesia-related atelectasis has a number of negative clinical consequences such as the impairment of arterial blood oxygenation and lung mechanics as well as the predisposition for ventilator-associated lung injury. The adjustment of ventilator settings for preventing the occurrence of atelectasis and for reducing pulmonary complications remains controversial.

Lung sonography (LUS) plays an important role in diagnosing pulmonary diseases in children, including atelectasis of different origins. LUS has demonstrated its high sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing anesthesia-induced atelectasis in children.

Detailed Description

Compare lung aeration between two different mechanical ventilation strategies (protective mechanical ventilation and recruitment maneuvers) in pediatric patients scheduled for abdominal laparoscopic surgery using ultrasound imaging and a four-point-aeration score to assess the lung aeration.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Written informed consent by parents.
  • Patients aged 6 months to 7 years old
  • Scheduled for abdominal laparoscopic surgery

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Compare lung aeration between protective mechanical ventilation and recruitment maneuvers in pediatric patients scheduled for abdominal laparoscopic surgery using ultrasound imaging and a four point aeration score to assess the lung aeration

Time Frame: intraoperative

Compare lung aeration between protective mechanical ventilation and recruitment maneuvers in pediatric patients scheduled for abdominal laparoscopic surgery using ultrasound imaging and a four point aeration score (0: normal lung aeration, 1: moderate loss of lung aeration, 2: severe loss of lung aeration, 3: complete loss of lung aeration and lung consolidation).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Lung aeration score pre/post the recruitment maneuver during laparoscopic surgery(intraoperative)
