Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Detection rates of postoperative pulmonary complications identified by lung ultrasonography and chest xrayTimepoint: postoperative day 0,1,2

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the timing of radiological manifestations of PPCs on LUS and chest X-ray with the onset of clinically relevant pulmonary symptoms.Timepoint: postoperative day 0,1,2;To evaluate and compare the time required to conduct a lung ultrasound of both hemithoraces versus the time to complete a bedside chest X-ray, defined as the interval from ordering the X-ray to obtaining a digital imageTimepoint: postoperative day 0,1,2;To determine if Lung Ultrasound Score on Postoperative Day 0 Is Predictive of the Occurrence of pulmonary Complications up to postoperative day 3 after abdominal cancer SurgeryTimepoint: postoperative day 0,1,2,3
