Temporal evolution of the mean LUS results per quadrant per group. LUS of the lung in the anterior chest area were all 0, thus no statistical analysis was made. T0: immediately before induction; T1: immediately after induction; T2: immediately after the end of surgery; T3: 30 min after tracheal extubation; C group: control group; SI group: sustained inflation recruitment manoeuvres group; UD group: ultrasound-guided recruitment manoeuvres group. *Denotes significant difference compared with C group (P < 0.05); #denotes significant difference compared with SI group (P < 0.05)
