Summary

This study looks at how often small areas of the lung collapse (atelectasis) during surgery when patients lie on their back versus their stomach. Researchers will use a lung ultrasound, a safe and radiation-free imaging tool, to check lung health right after anesthesia and before waking up. The goal is to understand which position is better for preventing lung problems after surgery. About 80 adults having planned surgery will take part, and no experimental treatments are given.
