LUNG ULTRASOUND

This study uses lung ultrasound to measure how the lungs change after surgery to remove part of a lung due to cancer. Researchers will check lung aeration before surgery, right after, and 24 hours later in about 32 adults. They aim to see if ultrasound findings relate to oxygen l…

After surgery with general anesthesia, parts of the lungs can collapse, causing low oxygen. Doctors use a breathing machine setting called PEEP to keep lungs open, but the best level is unclear. This study looked back at 450 patients to see which PEEP level was linked to less lun…

This study looked at 70 adults having surgery to see if a special breathing machine setting (lowest driving pressure) prevents lung collapse better than standard protective settings. Researchers used lung ultrasound to check for collapse right after surgery. The goal was to find …

This study looked at 110 children aged 2-10 having surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers compared two common breathing machine modes (volume-controlled vs. pressure-controlled) to see which one leads to less lung collapse (atelectasis). They used lung ultrasound to check …

This study tested whether a simple lung ultrasound can accurately detect fluid overload in people on hemodialysis. 46 patients had an ultrasound before their regular dialysis session, and the results were compared to other standard tests. The goal is to help doctors better determ…
