Atelectasis Evaluated With Lung Ultrasound After Inhalation or Intravenous Induction in Pediatric Anesthesia: a Prospective, Observational, Propensity Scored Matched Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Type of anesthesia induction for Atelectasis and Pediatric Anesthesia. Completed, enrolled 326 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Children have a highly compliant chest wall and atelectasis formation occurs often during pediatric anesthesia. Inhalation induction is commonly performed in pediatric anesthesia but it is still unclear if this can have an effect on the development of atelectasis. Aim of this study is to investigate the impact of inhalation versus intravenous induction on atelectasis formation during anesthesia induction in children. Atelectasis will be evaluated with lung ultrasound before induction and right after induction.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Patients will receive inhalatory or intravenous anesthesia at their choice; both groups will be evaluated with lung ultrasound after induction to detect ultrasonografic signs of atelectasis
