About this trial
Detecting possible atelectasis and other respiratory problems that may develop immediately after extubation via lung ultrasonography can reduce pulmonary complications by performing necessary interventions such as oxygen support, respiratory exercises, mobilization, and non-invasive mechanical ventilation applications at an early stage. In addition, although low-flow anesthesia is frequently used in daily anesthesia practice, publications showing the effects of its use in laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations on pulmonary complications are limited. On this occasion, this study can be presented as a contribution to the literature.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients with informed consent
Patients scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Patients with a Body Mass Index between 18-35 kg/m²
Patients in the American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) 1-2-3 category
Disqualifiers
Patients with emergency surgery planned
Patients with ASA 4 and above
Patients with lung disease
Patients who have undergone thoracic surgery
Trial population
All cases that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Patients will be taken to the operating room after being preoperatively evaluated in the observation room. The patient's anesthetic management will be provided by another anesthesiologist who is not participating in the study and is responsible for the patient. Intraoperative data will be obtained from the patient's anesthesia follow-up form and the records of the anesthesia machine. When the patients arrive in the recovery room, postoperative ultrasonographic measurements and other evaluations will be performed and noted. This group will include patients who received general anesthesia using low-flow techniques during the intraoperative period.
