Animal pose estimation is crucial for animal health assessment, species protection, and behavior analysis. It is an inevitable and unstoppable trend to apply deep learning to animal pose estimation. In many practical application scenarios, pose estimation models must be deployed on edge devices with limited resource.

However, it remains unclear whether lung ultrasound findings can be used as early predictors of PPCs in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. The main aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between early postoperative point-of-care lung ultrasound findings and PPCs after cardiac surgery.
