Atelectasis

Aka: Atelectasis, Lobar Collapse
  1. See Also
    1. Atelectasis on Chest XRay
  2. Definition
    1. Alveolar collapse of lung lobe
  3. Pathophysiology
    1. Bronchial obstruction results in Lobar Collapse
      1. Implies lack of collateral ventilation
    2. Air distal to obstruction reabsorbed in 4-24 hours
      1. Reabsorption is faster with Supplemental Oxygen
  4. Causes
    1. Post-operative change
    2. Rib Fracture or rib Contusion
  5. Symptoms
    1. Dyspnea
    2. Chest Pain
  6. Signs
    1. Fever
    2. Affected lung side or lobe
      1. Diminished respiratory movements
      2. Diminished breath sounds
      3. Dullness to percussion
    3. Tracheal displacement toward affected side
  7. Labs

      1. Leukocytosis
  8. Imaging
    1. See Atelectasis on Chest XRay
    2. Chest XRay
      1. Lung opacity in affected area
      2. Shifted mediastinum to affected side
      3. Elevated diaphragm on affected side

Atelectasis (C0004144)

Definition (MSH) Absence of air in the entire or part of a lung, such as an incompletely inflated neonate lung or a collapsed adult lung. Pulmonary atelectasis can be caused by airway obstruction, lung compression, fibrotic contraction, or other factors.
Definition (NCI) The collapse of part or the entire lung due to airway obstruction, infection, tumor, or general anesthesia.
Definition (NCI) A disorder characterized by the collapse of part or the entire lung.
Definition (NCI) Failure of the lung to expand (inflate) completely. This may be caused by a blocked airway, a tumor, general anesthesia, pneumonia or other lung infections, lung disease, or long-term bedrest with shallow breathing. Sometimes called a collapsed lung.
Definition (CSP) collapse of all or part of a lung due to bronchial plugging or the chest cavity being opened to atomspheric pressure.
