Brief Summary

Postoperative pulmonary complications (POPC) are common after general anaesthesia and are a major cause of increased morbidity and mortality in surgical patients. However, prevention and treatment methods for POPC that are considered effective, tie up human and technical resources. The aim of the planned research project is therefore to enable reliable identification of high-risk patients on the basis of a tailored machine learning algorithm using perioperative clinical routine data and sonographic imaging data collected in the recovery room. The randomized clinical trial will include 512 patients undergoing elective surgery in general anaesthesia. The primary outcome will be the development of POPC. The goal of the study is to detect postoperative pulmonary complications before they become clinically manifest.

Eligibility Criteria
