Summary

Atelectasis is considered a common complication in the perioperative period, especially following surgeries under general anesthesia. Postoperative atelectasis could occur anytime during the perioperative period from intraoperative period to 24 hours postoperative and contribute to a variety of other complications, including hypoxemia and pneumonia. In the literature, several methods were utilized to combat this phenomenon, therefore, we investigate the role of intraoperative salbutamol in reducing the incidence of atelectasis. It is well known that salbutamol could be an adjunctive bronchodilator medication used in the intraoperative anesthetic regimens.
