atelectasis teriminin İngilizce İngilizce sözlükte anlamı

The collapse of a part of or the whole lung caused by inner factors rather than a pneumothorax

or lung collapse Lack of expansion of pulmonary alveoli (see pulmonary alveolus). With a large-enough collapsed area, the victim stops breathing. In adhesive atelectasis, obstruction or lack of surface tension keeps a newborn's alveoli from expanding. Compression atelectasis is caused by external pressure. Obstructive atelectasis may be caused by blockage of a major airway or when pain from abdominal surgery keeps breathing too shallow to clear bronchial secretions; treatment involves removal of obstruction or fluids, control of infection, and lung reinflation

{i} (Medicine) collapse of the lungs

The collapse of a part of or the whole lung

collapse of an expanded lung (especially in infants); also failure of pulmonary alveoli to expand at birth
