Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
After ENT cancer surgery, postoperative respiratory complications are common, especially after tracheostomy. The objective of this study is to characterize the pulmonary status of patients after ENT cancer surgery. We wish to collect and analyze the pulmonary abnormalities revealed by the ultrasound scans performed in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), at day 1 and at day 2 after ENT cancer surgery with tracheostomy.

- description
- Lung ultrasound score : Images were obtained in PACU. Care was taken to set the focal zone on the pleural line. The thorax was divided into 12 quadrants: anterior, lateral, and posterior zones (separated by the anterior and posterior axillary lines) each divided in upper and lower portions for the right and left lung. Intercostal spaces of each of these areas were scanned and a cine-loop of the most pathologic area of each quadrant was saved to digital format. A semiquantitative score, the lung ultrasound (LUS) score, was calculated to assess lung aeration at each time point as described by Monastesse.
