Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess the predictive ability of preoperative comprehensive lung ultrasound parameters for postoperative respiratory failure.Timepoint: 30 minutes prior to the commence of the surgery. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. To assess the predictive ability of individual lung ultrasound parameters for postoperative respiratory failure (Lung USG score, diaphragmatic thickening fraction, and pleural effusion). 2. To assess the predictive ability of postoperative lung ultrasound parameters for postoperative respiratory failure. 3. To assess the predictive ability of comprehensive lung ultrasound parameters (Both preoperative and postoperative) for in hospital mortality.Timepoint: Immediate postoperative period (within 24 hour of surgery) for doing postoperative lung ultrasound. Participants will be followed up to 7 days post-surgery or until hospital discharge in the ward/ ICU for the development of postoperative respiratory failure and to find out in hospital mortality (within one month of surgery). | — |
