Conditions

Diaphragm Dysfunction

Brief summary

In children undergoing pulmonary resection, the diaphragm function is evaluated using ultrasound before and after surgery to evaluate the incidence of diaphragm dysfunction after pulmonary resection. In addition, we examine if there is a relationship between diaphragmatic dysfunction and pulmonary complications, including postoperative lung atelectasis.

Interventions

Diaphragm ultrasound is performed at the following three time points. 1. At the entrance of the operating room before induction of anesthesia 2. 1 hour after surgery 3. 24 hours after surgery
