Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1 .Age: Adult patients aged between 18-75 years 2.Type of Surgery: Patients undergoing elective open upper abdominal surgeries of atleast 3 hours duration (e.g.,Gastrectomy, Hepatectomy, Splenectomy, Pancreaticoduodenectomy). 3.Preoperative Status: Patients with an ASA (American Society of Anesthesiologists) physical status classification of I Ill.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: l. Preexisting Lung Conditions: Patients with preexisting pulmonary diseases (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD, Interstitial lung disease] 2. Hemodynamic Instability: Patients with intraoperative hemodynamic instability requiring immediate postoperative ventilation or advanced circulatory support. 3. Pregnant patients. 4.Technical Limitations: Poor acoustic window or technical limitations preventing adequate lung ultrasonography assessment.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To estimate the incidence of postoperative atelectasis in open upper abdominal surgeries of atleast 3 hours duration using lung ultrasonography.Timepoint: At baseline, day 1 and day 5

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To analyse the factors associated with postoperative Atelectasis. Timepoint: within 5 days post surgery;To correlate whether early postoperative atelectasis was associated with postoperative pneumonia, ICU stay and Length of hospital stayTimepoint: within 5days post surgery.
