Abstract

Atelectasis, as a consequence of the anaesthetic process, is a frequent finding in imaging studies obtained in the paediatric population. The correct identification of atelectasis and its causal association with anesthesia avoids overdiagnosis and unnecessary exposure to radiation in these patients. We present two cases of atelectasis associated with anesthesia with endotracheal intubation, found in chest images of pediatric patients at the Hospital Universitario San Ignacio during the last year, and compare them with their images obtained under sedation or awake
