LUSENT: Lung Ultrasound Score After ENT Cancer Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
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.

Detailed Description
After ENT cancer surgery, postoperative respiratory complications are common, especially after tracheostomy.
Problems with lung ventilation called "atelectasis" are largely associated with these complications. These atelectasis develop within minutes of the start of general anesthesia. Patients who develop a complication require longer postoperative oxygen treatment and more physical therapy.
The diagnosis of atelectasis can be made by standard chest radiography, which is a source of radiation and requires moving the patient. An alternative technique, lung ultrasound, is a non-irradiating examination that can be performed in the patient's bed. It is routinely performed in the postoperative surveillance room and in the intermediate care unit at the Centre Léon Bérard.
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Lung ultrasound score, on day 2 after ENT cancer surgery. [on the 2nd day after surgery]
Lung ultrasound score : Images were obtained on day 2 after PACU (in intermediate care unit). 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.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Lung ultrasound score, in the PACU after ENT cancer surgery. [Up to 24 hours]
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.
- Lung ultrasound score, on day 1 after ENT cancer surgery. [on the 1st day after surgery]
Lung ultrasound score : Images were obtained on day 1 after PACU (in intermediate care unit). Care was taken to set the focal zone on the pleural line.

SpO2/FiO2
- Study gas exchange on day 1 after surgery [on the 1st day after surgery]
SpO2/FiO2
- Study gas exchange on day 2 after surgery [on the 2nd day after surgery]
