  • Masking: Double

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control group
No intervention is performed. Lung ultrasonography is performed within 4 hours after surgery for diagnostic purpose.
Experimental: lung ultrasonography group
Lung ultrasonography is performed three times; after tracheal intubation, before surgery end, and within 4 hours after surgery. In this group, respiratory management is performed according to diagnosis.
Appropriate treatment for atelectasis, pleural effusion, pulmonary edema, pneumothorax or pneumonia which are confirmed by lung ultrasonography
