Evaluation of Recruitment Effectiveness in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome Using Lung Ultrasound

Lung Recruitment Maneuver (LRM) is a method that allows the alveoli to reopen by applying high positive pressure in order to prevent or treat alveolar collapse (atelectasis) that develops during or after anesthesia. LRM improves oxygenation by increasing functional residual capacity. Clinical studies have shown that LRM increases oxygenation levels, reduces areas of atelectasis, and shortens hospital stay. In this study, the effects of different recruitment maneuvers on postoperative atelectasis will be evaluated. In this group, just before extubation, the patients in this group will be given 6 breaths with a tidal volume of 2 times the vital capacity, an inspiratory/expiratory ratio of 1/1 and a lung plateau pressure of \< 35 cmH2O, and a recruitment maneuver will be performed at the end of the surgery.

LRM improves oxygenation by increasing functional residual capacity. Clinical studies have shown that LRM increases oxygenation levels, reduces areas of atelectasis, and shortens the length of hospital stay. In this study, the effects of different recruitment maneuvers on postoperative atelectasis will be evaluated. Patients in this group will be placed in the right and then left lateral decubitus position before extubation at the end of surgery and a recruitment maneuver will be performed by giving 6 breaths in each position, with a tidal volume twice the vital capacity, a 1/1 inspiratory/expiratory ratio, and a lung plateau pressure \< 35 cmH2O.
