Comparison Of Diaphragm Thickness Values In Cases Of Adenotonsillectomy Before And After The Operation

Aim: The ultrasonographic assessment in the operating room tends to increase daily, and ultrasonography is a method used evaluate thickness of diaphragm. Measurement diaphragm parameter that can be decide before separation from mechanical ventilation extraction. In these cases where intubated extubated at end operation, it planned examine ratio aperture muscle each other last inspirium exprium extubation. Determining current may meaningful for determining extubation time. Material Method: study, 60 patients, who were physical state ASA I II, 3-12 age range, scheduled elective adenotonsillectomy operation included. Age, gender, body mass index (BMI), time data patients recorded. Before after procedure, inspiratory exprituar thicknesses measured by ultrasonography. addition, expiration also calculated. Results: There was no significant difference between pre-operation values measurements. incidence laryngospasm 1.5 %. Conclusion: Diaphragm measurements with ultrasound have many benefits but further studies are needed.
