Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Adhesive atelectasis refers to the specific form of lung atelectasis due to the decrease or absence of pulmonary surfactant produced by type II pneumocytes. Without sufficient surfactant alveoli collapse due to increased surface tension. It is most commonly seen in the neonate with RDS.
Aetiology
- respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn: surfactant deficiency
- ARDS
- acute radiation pneumonitis
- hypoxemia
- post operative
- pulmonary embolism
- pulmonary haemorrhage
