The main questions it aims to answer are:\n\nHow often does a routine postoperative chest X-ray change clinical management? Can lung ultrasound detect relevant postoperative findings as effectively as chest X-ray? Researchers will compare lung ultrasound results and the treatment decision that would have been made based on ultrasound alone with the actual treatment decision based on chest X-ray to see if using lung ultrasound first, with chest X-ray only when needed, could reduce radiation exposure and imaging costs without affecting care.\n\nParticipants will:\n\nHave a routine chest X-ray after surgery. Have a lung ultrasound exam in the recovery unit before the chest X-ray result is known.\n\nHave their postoperative care recorded based on the actual chest X-ray result. Be monitored for short-term outcomes after discharge.",[26],"Pneumothorax Iatrogenic Postprocedural",[28,29,30,31],"thoracic surgery","PocUS","PNEUMOTHORAX","LUNG SLIDING","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-09-27",{"date":35,"type":36},"2026-10-02","ACTUAL",{"date":38,"type":21},"2026-10-01",{"date":40,"type":21},"2027-10-31",{"name":42,"class":43},"Clinica Alemana de Santiago","OTHER"]
