Optimization of perioperative fluid management is important for preventing adverse events, such as hypovolemia, cardiogenic shock, volume overload, and pulmonary edema, in both adult and pediatric patients. If the intravascular (IV) fluid volume is not optimized, pediatric patients are at risk of dehydration or volume overload. Perioperative IV fluid therapy is important during and after induction of general anesthesia (GA).The aim of this study is to investigate the difference between conventional and restrictive fluid replacement regimens using lung ultrasound in pediatric patients undergoing penile hypospadias repair, as a surgery with minor fluid loss.

Lung ultrasound with a curvilinear probe (DDED) is performed in all patients in a supine position on the lateral wall of the chest at approximately the level of the lower ribs using an ultrasound probe at a frequency of 4-12 MHz (AcusonX300, Siemens Korea, Seoul, South Korea). The mean number of B-lines detected on the ultrasound image and the percentage of patients who showed B-lines on their images were recorded. The mean of three measurements is used. Inter-observer variability is estimated to be 0.766 (95% confidence interval 0.675-0.847).
