Mechanisms of Fever in Pulmonary Atelectasis

Archives of Surgery, 1963
Pulmonary atelectasis, a common postoperative complication, is associated with high fever, tachycardia, and a rapid respiratory rate. The stimuli for these changes and the mechanisms whereby they are effected are the topics of this paper. An experimental method for production of the clinical syndrome will be described first and then the investigation ...

Types and Mechanisms of Pulmonary Atelectasis

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1996
Atelectasis is one of the most commonly encountered abnormalities in chest radiology and remains a daily diagnostic challenge. At times atelectasis can be overlooked, particularly when pulmonary opacification is minimal or absent, and at other times it might be interpreted as being some other form of intrathoracic pathology, particularly pneumonia.

Radiological Changes in Pulmonary Atelectasis

Archives of Surgery, 1965
PREVIOUS EXPERIMENTAL work, which has been partially confirmed in the human, has demonstrated the pathological physiology of pulmonary atelectasis. 1,2 At times, the clinical picture of pulmonary atelectasis is observed with high fever, tachycardia, and a rapid respiratory rate, as well as decreased breath sounds and chest movement on the involved side,

Atypical Manifestations of Pulmonary Atelectasis

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1996
Recognizing atelectasis has always been a challenge. Atypical patterns further our knowledge of this subject. The lung has two mechanisms to help keep the lobes inflated: collateral ventilation and trapped nitrogen both tend to inflate the lungs when the airways are obstructed. Peripheral upper-lobe atelectasis resembles apical pleural fluid.

POSTOPERATIVE PULMONARY ATELECTASIS

Archives of Surgery, 1927
Our purpose in this presentation is to emphasize the fact that pulmonary atelectasis, partial or massive, is a common postoperative pulmonary complication and presents a striking and characteristic roentgenologic and clinical picture. No doubt the majority of those postoperative conditions which have been regarded previously as either aspiration or ...

ATELECTASIS IN PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS

Journal of the American Medical Association, 1932
The relation of bronchial obstruction to atelectasis has been known since 1844, when Legendre and Bailly 1 found that in infants long enfeebled the lungs after death usually contain many consolidated airless lobules. This, they maintained, may occur in the absence of any inflammatory pulmonary process, and develops as a result of bronchial catarrh ...

Pulmonary Collapse (Atelectasis)

1990
Pulmonary collapse is one of the most frequently encountered lung pathologies. The causes of this disorder, which affects adults as well as children, are as various as there are pulmonary diseases: infections, tumoral lesions, bronchiectases, trauma, radiation injury, granulomatous diseases, pleural abnormalities, foreign bodies, and mediastinal ...

OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY ATELECTASIS

Archives of Surgery, 1931
In a recent publication 1 on the subject of obstructive pulmonary atelectasis, two etiologic factors were described as being essential to its production, viz., bronchial obstruction and labored respiration or expiration against resistance. The latter of these two factors was contrary to the observations of Lee, 2 Coryllos and Birnbaum 3 and others, 4 ...

Postoperative pulmonary atelectasis

The American Journal of Surgery, 1941
Abstract 1. 1. Atelectasis has been definitely established as being one of the commoner of postoperative complications. When one considers the immediate postoperative pulmonary complications, it apparently is the most important and most frequent condition encountered. 2. 2.
