ultrasonography, infant, perioperative period, general anesthesia
Brief summary
Investigators hypothesized that lung ultrasound-assisted recruitment maneuver would be beneficial in mechanically ventilated infants compared to those who did not receive lung ultrasound and alveolar recruitment maneuver.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Postoperative incidence of pulmonary atelectasis | within the first day after the surgery |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Intraoperative incidence of pulmonary atelectasis after endotracheal intubation | from the moment of endotracheal intubation until the end of surgery, up to 6 hours |
| Intraoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value) | from the induction of general anesthesia until the end of the surgery, up to 6 hours |
| Postoperative incidence of pulse oximetry (SpO2) ≤ 95% (or 10% below the baseline value) | within the first day after the surgery |
