Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Undergoing elective major cardiac surgery (e.g., coronary artery bypass grafting, valve replacement/repair, or combined procedures) with Cardiopulmonary bypass with planned postoperative ventilation in the ICU. Written informed consent obtained

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Pregnant patients Prior thoracic surgery or patients with diaphragmatic paralysis. Emergency or redo cardiac surgery Inability to obtain quality ultrasound window Patient with preexisting peak ventilatory pressures of more than 35cm H2O

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided lung recruitment maneuvers by comparing pre and post recruitment lung ultrasound score (LUS) and PaO2 and Fi02 ratio 2. To assess real time changes in lung aeration during ultrasound guided recruitment maneuvers in terms of reduction of Lung Ultrasound Score (LUS)Timepoint: Baseline immediate post operatively followed by every 12 hours

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To determine the incidence of Postoperative Pulmonary Complications (PPCs)Timepoint: After discharge of patient;To record any complications related to recruitment maneuvers, such as new-onset pneumothorax, significant hemodynamic instability (hypotension or arrhythmia) during the maneuver, or barotrauma in view of the safety profileTimepoint: During recruitment;To determine ICU resource utilization outcomes, such as ICU length of stay & requirement of oxygen & duration of mechanical ventilationTimepoint: After discharge of patient
