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.
