Although lung-protective strategies are widely used in thoracic surgery, postoperative atelectasis can still occur. Both lung ultrasound (LUS) and diaphragmatic excursion assessments are accurate and noninvasive for bedside imaging and examination. This study aimed to test the feasibility of using LUS during the perioperative period of video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) and to continuously evaluate aeration changes through LUS examination and diaphragmatic excursion assessment.
