The collapse of part or all of a lung?
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.
Why does a pneumothorax frequently lead to atelectasis?
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.
