Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Fixed positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP)  fixed positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP) of 5cmH2O will be applied throughout surgery in the control group A 
Intervention  Optimum positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP)  optimum positive end expiratory pressure(PEEP) will be applied based on best dynamic lung compliance. PEEP will be decreased by 2cmH2O from 20cmH20 at every 30 seconds interval till best lung compliance is achieved which will be calculated with Drager Primus anaesthesia workstation. The optimum PEEP will then be applied for the entire length of surgery in group B.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To find the incidence of significant atelectasis defined as consolidation score 2 in any region in post operative lung ultrasound assessment.  lung ultrasound images will be obtained at 4 predefined time points:
T-1 Before induction of general anaesthesia
T-2 Five minutes after intubation before lung recruitment
T-3 Before extubation
T-4 One hour after extubation in PACU (Post Anaesthesia Care Unit)
 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Correlation of lung ultrasound score with
PaO2 / FiO2 ratio
Body Mass Index
Alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient
Duration of surgery
Incidence of intraoperative hypotension and bradycardia in both groups.
Change in driving pressure during intraoperative period between both groups.
Change in lung compliance during intraoperative period between both groups.
Duration of oxygen supplementation required to maintain SpO2 94% in each group in the first postoperative day .

 
Hemodynamic monitoring,saturation: 15 minute intervals after induction
Respiratory mechanics:5 min after intubation,after lung recruitment,30 min interval intraoperatively,before extubation
ABG- after induction, before extubation, 1 hour after extubation in PACU

Response - NO
Brief Summary   General anaesthesia used during surgery predisposes patients to postoperative pulmonary compliacations which includes pneumonia, atelectasis, respiratory failure etc which increases the morbidity and mortality of patients postoperatively. Children are more susceptible because of their anatomical and physiological differences such as the decreased FRC due to the increased compliance of their chest wall which provided reduced counterbalance to the inward elastic recoil of the lugs. Application of lung recruitment manoeuver, appropriate PEEP thus becomes necessary to keep the alveoli open and maintain adequate oxygenation during the course of surgery. We hypothesize that an optimum PEEP based on best lung compliance  can improve intraoperative oxygenation and thus reduce postoperative lung atelectasis as assessed by lung ultrasound score
