Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1)To assess the predictive ability of preoperative comprehensive lung ultrasound score for PPC at postoperative day 3Timepoint: in preoperative period & in postoperative period (till 24hr)usg scan will be done. then daily patient will be followed during hospital stay

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1)To assess the predictive ability of preoperative comprehensive lung ultrasound score for PPC at postoperative day 7.Timepoint: at day 7;2)To assess the predictive ability of individual preoperative comprehensive lung ultrasound parameters for PPC at day 3 & day 7.Timepoint: at day 3 & day 7;3)To assess the predictive ability of postoperative lung ultrasound score for PPC at day 3 & 7.Timepoint: at day 3 & 7;4)To compare the performance of ARISCAT score with preoperative comprehensive lung USG score in detecting PPCTimepoint: postoperative period;5)To study the association of intraoperative driving pressure with postoperative comprehensive lung ultrasound score.Timepoint: intraoperative period
