Clinical Trial: Lung Ultrasound and Alveolar Recruitment in Mechanically Ventilated Infants

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Preventive Effect of Lung Ultrasound and Alveolar Recruitment on Atelectasis in Mechanically Ventilated Infants

Brief Summary: Investigators hypothesized that lung ultrasound-assisted recruitment maneuver would be beneficial in mechanically ventilated infants compared to those who did not receive lung ultrasound and alveolar recruitment maneuver.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Seoul National University Hospital

Current Primary Outcome: Postoperative incidence of pulmonary atelectasis [ Time Frame: within the first day after the surgery ]

Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Intraoperative incidence of pulmonary atelectasis after endotracheal intubation [ Time Frame: from the moment of endotracheal intubation until the end of surgery, up to 6 hours ]
  • Intraoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value) [ Time Frame: from the induction of general anesthesia until the end of the surgery, up to 6 hours ]
  • Postoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value) [ Time Frame: within the first day after the surgery ]


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
