Estudio de validación de la pulsioximetría Como método diagnóstico no Invasivo de Atelectasia Pulmonar y de la Efectividad de la Maniobra de Capacidad Vital Para la reversión de la Atelectasia Durante el Postoperatorio
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Air Test for Patients With ASA Status I-III Scheduled for Elective Surgery. Completed, enrolled 181 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Anesthesia-induced atelectasis persist in the postoperative period but are not usually diagnosed because imaging techniques are required. The aim of the study is to determine whether the value of SpO2≤96 while breathing room air (0.21 FiO2) for 5 min, maneuver that we defined as the Air Test, was able to diagnose atelectasis in the postoperative period after a general anesthesia.
