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

Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome are at higher risk for respiratory complications after surgery. Oxygen depletion and respiratory distress are common in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. In this study, the effectiveness of the recruitment maneuver applied in the postoperative period will be investigated via lung ultrasound. Recruitment is a technique performed to improve the oxygen levels of patients. Patients diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome between the ages of 18-65 will be included in the study and anesthesia and surgical procedures will be followed. The aim of the study is to compare the pulmonary complication rates between patients who underwent recruitment and those who did not, and to examine the effects of factors such as age and gender on these complications via lung ultrasound.
