• Conditions: Medical and Surgical,

• Registration Number: CTRI/2022/11/047084
• Lead Sponsor: Maulana Azad Medical College

Brief Summary

A study will be conducted on patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery under general anaesthesia, to evaluate the use of ultrasound guided lung recruitment manoeuvre on perioperative atelectasis. Using lung ultrasound score areas of atelectasis will be assessed and incremental increase of positive end-expiratory pressure will be applied as recruitment manoeuvre. Lung areation will be assessed at the end of surgery to evaluate the effect of recruitment manoeuvre. Data will be compared with another group who will be receiving a positive end-expiratory pressure of 5 cmH2O throughout the surgery.
