Summary

In pregnancy, cephalal shift of the diaphragm caused by the enlarged uterus reduces the functional residual capacity and may increase the closure volume and predispose the pregnant woman to airway closure, leading to atelectasis. The development of atelectasis due to dermatomes retained in spinal anesthesia and intraoperative supine position may increase further. Oxygen therapy to be applied may also lead to absorption atelectasis by causing hyperoxia. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of oxygen support on the lungs in cesarean section operations under spinal anesthesia by lung ultrasound score and oxygen reserve index.
