Atelectasis by Lung Ultrasonography in Cesarean Sections

October 16, 2020 updated by: ERHAN KARACA, Derince Training and Research Hospital

Determination of the Effects of General Anesthesia and Spinal Anesthesia Applied in Elective Cesarean Operations on Postoperative Atelectasis by Lung Ultrasonography

In this study aimed to demonstrate that atelectasis developing in the perioperative period of patients undergoing elective cesarean surgery with spinal or general anesthesia methods using lung ultrasound. After Preoperative lung ultrasounds of patients is done, the cesarean operation will be completed with spinal or general anesthesia. In the postoperative period, control lung ultrasounds will be performed and the ultrasound results will be compared in terms of atelectasis in both groups.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
general anesthesia
Preoperative lung ultrasound will be performed on all patients and baseline values will be recorded. The sensory block level under T10 of the patients who underwent spinal anesthesia in the postoperative period lung ultrasonography will be done after regression. In the postoperative period, lung ultrasonography will be performed in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia when the sensory block level is below T10. In the general anesthesia group, when the neuromuscular block is completely reversed and the Aldrete score is> 9, lung ultrasonography will be performed. The degree of atelectasis will be determined according to the modified LUS score.
