No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Fast-tracking in cardiac surgery refers to early extubation to reduce costs and perioperative morbidity. The use of lung ultrasound is recently accepted as a tool in the assessment of several lung conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the use of lung ultrasound score as a quantitative method to assist in the decision of early extubation.

Conditions

  • Exta Vascular Lung Water

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Lung ultrasound examination

45 pediatric patients who will go elective repair of congenital acyanotic heart diseases will be included and will be examined with Lung ultrasound together with arterial blood gases preoperative and postoperative and given a score range from 0-3 according to number of B lines in each region and sensitivity of post-operative lung ultrasound score to extubation within 6 hours was examined.
