Effect of different lung recruitment strategies and airway device on oscillatory mechanics in children under general anaesthesiaAtelectasis has been reported in 68 to 100% of children undergoing general anaesthesia, a phenomenon that persists into the recovery period.

The optimal type of recruitment manoeuvre is unclear and may be influenced by the airway device chosen.
