Evaluation of pulmonary complications and outcomes during mid-term follow-up, as well as comparison of ultrasound examination and traditional roentgenologic methods (X-ray examination and CT of the chest) will be performed. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:* Is ultrasound examination of the lungs a more specific and sensitive method in identification of early postoperative pulmonary complications after on-pump cardiac surgical procedures, in comparison with traditional X-ray methods.* Does early identification of interstitial pulmonary edema (based on number of visualised B-lines in the early postoperative period), influences mid-term outcomes in this cohort of patients Participants will undergo ultrasound examination of the lungs on postoperative day 1, 3, 5 and 7 after heart surgery. Based on ultrasound findings and degree of interstitial pulmonary edema, medical (diuretics, anti-inflammatory, e.t.c) therapy will be modified.Researchers will compare this group of patients with control group, in which ultrasound examination will be performed in the same time frames, but no changes in medical management based on ultrasound findings will be made to see if timely administered medical therapy, based on ultrasound findings, can significantly improve symptoms, hospital lengths of stay and outcomes of this patients., conditionsModule conditions: Ischemic Heart Disease, conditions: Aortic Stenosis, Severe, conditions: Aortic Insufficiency, conditions: Mitral Stenosis, conditions: Mitral Insufficiency, conditions: Mitral Stenosis With Insufficiency, conditions: Tricuspid Insufficiency, conditions: Ascending Aortic Aneurysm, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: Prospective, randomized, single-center study with 2 groups of patients (investigating and control arms), primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: TRIPLE, whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, whoMasked: CARE_PROVIDER, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 186, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Ultrasound examination of the lungs, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: The number of participants with interstitial pulmonary edema at the day of hospital discharge, according to ultrasound lung examination, secondaryOutcomes measure: Postoperative pulmonary complications, secondaryOutcomes measure: Cumulative dosage of diuretics, secondaryOutcomes measure: Number of nights at home after hospital discharge, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: Saint Petersburg State University Clinic, city: Saint Petersburg, zip: 190020, country: Russian Federation, contacts name: Sergei M Efremov, MD, PhD, role: CONTACT, phone: +79137946090, email: sergefremov@mail.ru, geoPoint lat: 59.93863, lon: 30.31413, hasResults: False
