Active clinical trials for "Pulmonary Atelectasis"

The investigators hypothesized that an ultrasound-guided lung recruitment maneuvers would be more effective in preventing postoperative atelectasis than conventional alveolar recruitment after surgical correction of idiopathic adolescent scoliosis.

In anesthetized children, the incidence of lung collapse with episodes of hypoxemia is high. Diaphragmatic dysfunction induced by general anesthesia is one of the most important factors in the genesis of regional losses of lung aeration. The mass of the abdominal organs pushes the diaphragm cranially compressing the lungs in the most dependent areas. Such regional lung collapse may range from a slight loss of aeration to complete atelectasis.

The goal of this Randomized Clinical trial is to to investigate if the use of Air Pressure Release Ventilation in morbidly obese patients undergoing open heart surgery will improve post operative pulmonary outcomes 60 Patients will be randomized into two groups according to the mode of ventilation used into: Group A: airway pressure release ventilation (APRV) group (30 Patients) Group B: Standard (control) group (30 Patients) Post-operatively, Patients will be ventilated with conventional Synchronized Intermittent Mandatory Ventilation (SIMV) volume control mode

The aim of our study is to assess the beneficial effect of sustained inflations as a recruitment manoeuvre, using LUS examinations, on the degree of lung atelectasis that occurs in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Objectives To assess the effect of general anaesthesia and capnoperitoneum on lung atelectasis in the paediatric patients by using LUS examination To assess the effect of sustained inflations as a recruitment manoeuvre in decreasing lung atelectasis caused by general anaesthesia and capnoperitoneum by using LUS examination Hypothesis Our main hypothesis is that the use of repeated Sustained Inflation as a recruitment manoeuvre in pediatric patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery will result in decreased atelectasis compared to conventional ventilation.

The goal of this study is to observe the effects of different oxygen concentrations during preoxygenation in spontaneous breathing patients with modified lung ultrasound scores before induction of general anesthesia. Preoxygenation is a routine and recommended procedure for patients undergoing general anesthesia. Atelectasis is a common side effect of general anesthesia and usage of high concentration oxygen is a probable cause of it. Using lower oxygen concentrations in preoxygenation may help reducing the atelectasis and it can be assessed by lung ultrasound.

The goal of this pilot randomized clinical trial is to test the effects of high flow nasal oxygen and head elevation during awakening from propofol anesthesia in pediatric patients undergoing airway surgery. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: High flow oxygen can decrease the occurence of atelectasis during awakening from propofol anesthesia in pediatric patients? Head elevation can decrease the occurence of atelectasis during awakening from propofol anesthesia in pediatric patients? Researchers will compare high flow oxygen vs low flow oxygen group to see if the use of high flow oxygen decrease the occurence of atelectasis during awakening from propofol anesthesia. And in each group, the patients will be assigned to supine position vs head elevation position to compare the effects of head elevation during awakening from propofol anesthesia.

Oxygenation index and bedside ultrasound would be used to evaluate the therapeutic effect of novel recruitment maneuver therapy in the patients with pulmonary atelectasis after cardiac surgery. To establish a new therapy strategy for pulmonary atelectasis after cardiac surgery and to evaluate its effectiveness and safety for the cardiac patients complicated with postoperative pulmonary atelectasis.

In infectious lung consolidations, the inhibition of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) results in a higher regional acceleration time (RAcT) compared to the RAcT measured in atelectatic consolidations.

Evaluate the effects of high-flow nasal oxygen therapy on atelectasis in the perioperative period by lung ultrasound (LUS) in bariatric surgery patients.

Children have a highly compliant chest wall and atelectasis formation occurs often during pediatric anesthesia. Inhalation induction is commonly performed in pediatric anesthesia but it is still unclear if this can have an effect on the development of atelectasis. Aim of this study is to investigate the impact of inhalation versus intravenous induction on atelectasis formation during anesthesia induction in children. Atelectasis will be evaluated with lung ultrasound before induction and right after induction.
