Brief summary

Atelectasis is an important complication that can be seen during general anesthesia, especially in patients with lung problems and in patients having pneumoperitoneum. Application of PEEP during anesthesia may reduce the incidence of atelectasis.Lung ultrasonography is a tool that is easily accessible, can be applied at the bedside, is non-invasive, does not cause radiation exposure, and is increasingly used in daily practice in operating rooms. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the occurrence of atelectasis by using lung ultrasound, and to investigate the effectiveness of ultrasound in determining the risk of developing atelectasis in patients ventilated with different PEEP values during general anesthesia. The study was conducted in 60 patients aged 18 and over, from ASA I-III groups, who were planned to undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery at the Istanbul Medeniyet University Göztepe Training and Research Hospital General Surgery Clinic, and their written and verbal informed consents were obtained. The patients included in the study were divided into 2 groups. Among the patients who were going to be operated, 5 PEEP were applied to Group I (n=30) cases, and 10 PEEP to Group II (n=30) cases during ventilation with anesthesia device. All patients were evaluated by transthoracic lung ultrasonography before anesthetic induction, after tracheal intubation, after pneumoperitoneum, and 15 minutes after recovery from anesthesia. According to the lung USG protocol, a total of 6 regions, including 2 quadrants of each hemi-thorax anterior wall, 2 right and left lateral walls, and 2 quadrants of the posterior wall, a total of 12 regions in each patient were scanned, and the images were evaluated. According to the modified lung USG scoring system, each region was scored between 0-3 consistent with the degree of atelectasis. The total score was calculated for each patient. Hemodynamic follow-up of the patients was performed. Anesthesia times, surgery times, and pneumoperitoneum times were recorded and compared.
