U.S., Jan. 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07320092) titled 'Supine vs Prone Position and Atelectasis Assessed by Lung Ultrasound' on Dec. 22, 2025.
Brief Summary: Atelectasis frequently develops during and after general anesthesia due to factors such as anesthesia-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction, reduced functional residual capacity, altered ventilation-perfusion matching, and surgical positioning. The development of atelectasis has been associated with postoperative hypoxemia and other pulmonary complications.
Lung ultrasound (LUS) has emerged as a reliable, radiation-free bedside imaging modality for the detection and monitoring of atelectasis. LUS allows assessment of lung aeration thro...
