| atelectasis | <chest medicine, radiology> A term used to describe partial or complete collapse of the lung, usually due to an obstruction of a bronchus (with mucus plug, infection or cancer). Atelectasis is commonly seen immediately in the post-operative period in those who have undergone general anaesthesia. Symptoms of atelectasis include low-grade fever, dry cough, chest pains and mild shortness of breath. Mild post-operative atelectasis is treated with deep breathing exercises and respiratory therapy. Atelectasis secondary to carcinoma will often be managed using bronchoscopy. (27 Sep 1997) |

| atelectatic rale |
a nonpathologic rale that is dissipated by deep breathing or coughing and is best observed at the margin of a lung. This type is frequently heard in those who breathe feebly and superficially, when on deep inspiration the moist walls of the unexpanded alveoli are suddenly forced apart by the entering air; after a few deep inspirations these rales are lost. Called also marginal or border r.
