Correlation of lung collapse and gas exchange - a computer tomographic study in sheep and pigs with atelectasis in otherwise normal lungs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Atelectasis can provoke pulmonary and non-pulmonary complications after general anaesthesia. Unfortunately, there is no instrument to estimate atelectasis and prompt changes of mechanical ventilation during general anaesthesia.

Effect of positioning and expiratory rib-cage compression on atelectasis in a patient who required prolonged mechanical ventilation: a case report

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2022
Background Pulmonary complications can be caused by intraoperative mechanical ventilation. In particular, prolonged mechanical ventilation is associated with a high mortality rate, a risk of pulmonary complications, prolonged hospitalization, and an ...

Pulmonary atelectasis in dogs during general anesthesia [PDF]

, 2010
Pleural pressure is usually lower than pulmonary pressure. Therefore, the lungs tend to collapse and increase its distance from thoracic walls. At the beginning of 20th century, Pasteur described the pulmonary atelectasis, which develops during induction

Complete Right Upper Lobe Atelectasis Caused by an Endobronchial Hamartoma: Diagnostic Challenges and Successful Treatment With Rigid Bronchoscopy and Laser. [PDF]

Respirol Case Rep
We describe a case of complete right upper lobe atelectasis caused by an endobronchial hamartoma that was initially misdiagnosed on flexible bronchoscopic biopsy and was successfully treated with rigid bronchoscopy and laser therapy. ABSTRACT Endobronchial hamartomas are very rare benign lung tumours that may cause airway obstruction and are frequently

Tumor Atelectasis Gives Rise to a Solid Appearance in Pulmonary Adenocarcinomas on High-Resolution Computed Tomography

, 2020
Introduction: Ground-glass opacities in a high-resolution computed tomography (HR-CT) scan correlate, if malignant, with adenocarcinoma in situ. The solid appearance in the HR-CT is often considered indicative of an invasive component. This study aims to

Morbid obesity and postoperative pulmonary atelectasis: an underestimated problem.

, 2002
Perturbation of respiratory mechanics produced by general anesthesia and surgery is more pronounced in morbidly obese (MO) patients. Because general anesthesia induces pulmonary atelectasis in nonobese patients, we hypothesized that atelectasis formation

Lung ultrasonography as a tool to guide perioperative atelectasis treatment bundle in head and neck cancer patients undergoing free flap reconstructive surgeries: a preliminary observational study

Brazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2022
Introduction: General anesthesia causes pulmonary atelectasis within few minutes of induction. This can have significant impact on postoperative outcome of cancer patients undergoing prolonged reconstructive surgeries.

Lung ultrasound score to determine the effect of fraction inspired oxygen during alveolar recruitment on absorption atelectasis in laparoscopic surgery: a randomized controlled trial

BMC Anesthesiology, 2020
Background Although the intraoperative alveolar recruitment maneuver (RM) efficiently treats atelectasis, the effect of Fio 2 on atelectasis during RM is uncertain.

Respiratory Organ‐on‐a‐Chip for Disease Modeling: From Architecture to Functional Integration

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Respiratory organ‐on‐a‐chip (ROC) models capture key mechanical and cellular cues of the human respiratory system, enabling quantitative dissection of disease mechanisms. This review links ROC architectures to disease modeling, functional integration, and commercialization, and proposes a decision framework that aligns model complexity with mechanistic

The effects of laryngeal mask airway versus endotracheal tube on atelectasis in patients undergoing general anesthesia assessed by lung ultrasound: A protocol for a prospective, randomized controlled trial

PLoS ONE, 2022
Background The incidence of atelectasis is high in patients undergoing general anesthesia. This may cause oxygenation impairment and further contribute to postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs).
