In the researchers' words
General anaesthesia results in developement of atelectasis in dependent areas of the lungs exposing patients to an increased risk of hypoxaemia.During pelvic robotic surgeries pneumoperitoneum and steep trendelenburg position further increases atelectasis. Lung Ultrasound imaging is a promising , noninvasive , non-radiant, portable tool to study intraoperative lung atelectasis.
