atelectasis
It is a partial lung collapse, due to an air pocket on the outside of the lung, which pushes against the lung.
squidward: "no patrick , inhaling does not cause a lung to collapse"
Air in the chest (Thorax) causes the lung to collapse. This can be spontaneous or after chest injuries
Um Its like we asked the ? why don't you just answer it
Pressure on the lung leading it to collapse
Atelectasis is a partial collapse of the lung caused by failure of the parenchymal (functional) lung tissue due to disease (i.e., COPD). Pneumothorax is the collapse of the lung due to mechanical causes (i.e., traumatic injury, violent coughing).
Difficult breathing can be called lung collapse which might be caused by dead air leaving the trachea causing the lung to collapse. The only way to deal with this issue is to perform Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the victim.
An aeroatelectasis is the partial collapse of a lung experienced by pilots in certain extreme circumstances.
Atelectasis (at-ee-LEK-tah-sis) is the collapse of part or all of the lung by the blockage of the air passages or by very shallow breathing (atel means incomplete, and -ectsis means stretching or enlargement). "Pneumothorax" is actually the presence of free air or gas in the pleural cavity.
A pneumothorax causes the lung to collapse, leading to decreased air flow into the lung and subsequent alveolar collapse, resulting in atelectasis. The air in the pleural space from the pneumothorax can also prevent proper lung expansion, further worsening the atelectasis.
Dot Lung's birth name is Dorothy Lung.
