About this study

Official title: Determination of the Effects of General Anesthesia and Spinal Anesthesia Applied in Elective Cesarean Operations on Postoperative Atelectasis by Lung Ultrasonography

In this study aimed to demonstrate that atelectasis developing in the perioperative period of patients undergoing elective cesarean surgery with spinal or general anesthesia methods using lung ultrasound. After Preoperative lung ultrasounds of patients is done, the cesarean operation will be completed with spinal or general anesthesia. In the postoperative period, control lung ultrasounds will be performed and the ultrasound results will be compared in terms of atelectasis in both groups.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • The Effect of General Anesthesia and Spinal Anesthesia on Postoperative Atelectasis by Lung Ultrasonography in Cesarean SectionsProcedure or surgery

    Preoperative lung ultrasound will be performed on all patients and baseline values will be recorded. The sensory block level under T10 of the patients who underwent spinal anesthesia in the postoperative period lung ultrasonography will be done after regression. In the postoperative period, lung ultrasonography will be performed in patients undergoing spinal anesthesia when the sensory block level is below T10. In the general anesthesia group, when the neuromuscular block is completely reversed and the Aldrete score is> 9, lung ultrasonography will be performed. The degree of atelectasis will be determined according to the modified LUS score.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

incidence of the postoperative atelectasis (time frame: two months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
