First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will use lung ultrasound to check how different surgical positions (lying on back, stomach, side, or in lithotomy) affect lung collapse after general anesthesia. Researchers will enroll 100 adults having planned surgery. The goal is to see if some positions are better than others at preventing lung collapse.

What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help doctors choose surgical positions that reduce the risk of lung collapse after surgery.
