Detailed explanation-1: -Atelectasis occurs from a blocked airway (obstructive) or pressure from outside the lung (nonobstructive). General anesthesia is a common cause of atelectasis. It changes your regular pattern of breathing and affects the exchange of lung gases, which can cause the air sacs (alveoli) to deflate.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are three main types of atelectasis: compressive, resorptive (obstructive) and contraction.
Detailed explanation-3: -Typically, atelectasis is asymptomatic. However, a patient might also present with decreased or absent breath sounds, crackles, cough, sputum production, dyspnea, tachypnea, and/or diminished chest expansion.
Detailed explanation-4: -Complications of Atelectasis If atelectasis isn’t treated, it can have complications including: Pneumonia. Mucus can cause an infection in your lung. Respiratory failure.
