Optimizing PEEP in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery Using Bedside Lung Ultrasound

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Atelectasis, Postoperative Pulmonary
Registration Number
NCT04269564
Lead Sponsor
Cairo University
Brief Summary

Lung ultrasound imaging is a promising non-invasive, non-radiant, portable and easy to use tool that as yet to be studied in the intraoperative setting.

in our current study, we are trying to reach the optimum PEEP in laparoscopic bariatric patients to prevent postoperative collapse and atlectasis with simple non-invasive procedure.
