Table 2. Lung Ultrasound Scores and Diaphragm Excursion.
Variable | Propofol group (n = 54) | Propofol-ketamine group (n = 53) | Relative risk (95% CI) or median difference (95% CI)a | P value |
---|---|---|---|---|
Atelectasis, No. (%) | 48 (88.9) | 31 (58.5) | 0.7 (0.5 to 0.8) | <.001 |
Total lung scoreb (range, 0-84), median (IQR) | 6 (3 to 10) | 2 (0 to 4) | 4.0 (2.0 to 5.0) | <.001 |
B-line (B) scorec (range, 0-42), median (IQR) | 2 (0 to 4) | 0 (0 to 0) | 1.0 (0.0 to 2.0) | .001 |
Consolidation (C) scored (range, 0-42), median (IQR) | 4 (1 to 6) | 1 (0 to 2) | 2.0 (1.0 to 3.0) | <.001 |
Diaphragm excursion, mean (SD), mm | 6.09 (2.33) | 5.89 (2.25) | 0.2 (−0.7 to 1.1) | .66 |
Continuous variables are reported as median or mean difference (95% CI), whereas categorical variables are reported as relative risk (95% CI).
The total lung score was calculated as the sum of the C and B scores.
The degree of B-lines (B score) was graded from 0 to 3 as follows: 0, fewer than 3 isolated B-lines; 1, multiple B-lines; 2, multiple coalescent B-lines; and 3, white lungs.
The degree of juxtapleural consolidation (C score) was graded from 0 to 3 as follows: 0, no consolidation; 1, minimal consolidation; 2, small consolidation; and 3, large consolidation.
