| atelectasis |
A term used to describe a complete or partial collapse of a portion of the lung. The lungs are made up of millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli. Different conditions can cause these alveoli to collapse, which can result in impaired breathing and can lead to pneumonia. Atelectasis can be detected on chest x-ray and is treated by taking measures to re-expand the collapsed alveoli. These measures may range from encouraging the patient to take slow deep breaths, to mechanical ventilation.

| atelectasis |
Incomplete expansion of the lung at birth or the collapse of the lung at any age. Collapse can be caused by compression by pressure from without (exudates, tumors) or resorption of gas from one alveolus in the presence of complete internal obstruction (loss of elastic recoil of the lung for any reason-thoracic or abdominal surgery, plugging, exudates, foreign body). The affected area of the lung is airless. Theoverall effect is to dampen or mute the sounds in the involved area.
