Rounded atelectasis of the lung.
Rounded atelectasis of the lung (RA) is a lesion well described in the medical literature, yet often very difficult to diagnose. In recent years, the widespread use of high-resolution imaging modalities employed in the struggle against cancer, coinciding with the peak of the asbestos epidemic, have boosted the detection frequency of RA. However, its differential diagnosis still poses a challeng...
متن کاملStress, deformation, and atelectasis of the lung.
The lung parenchyma as a tissue has a rather unusual stress-strain relationship. A theoretical derivation of this relationship is presented which connects the surface tension and the tissue elastic stress in the alveolar septa with the alveolar geometry. The mathematical expression contains a few meaningful physical constants which can be determined by in vitro and in vivo experiments. With thi...
متن کاملAnesthesia-induced atelectasis assessed by lung sonography
Background Atelectasis and poorly ventilated lung areas are negative consequences of general anesthesia observed in adult as well as in children. The reported incidence of this anesthesia-induced atelectasis in children is high and comes from 83 % to almost 100 %. The diagnosis of this entity is difficult to do at the bedside; they are commonly small and mostly invisible to standard chest X-ray...
متن کاملLung ultrasonography for the detection of anesthesia-induced lung atelectasis.
ultrasound-conductive substance (e.g., water, pus, blood, and fibrous tissue), the withdrawal of air (e.g., resorption atelectasis) will also lead to the genesis of B lines. Demonstrating this last point, in an ex vivo animal model of graded atelectasis, B lines were observed in increasing numbers with increasing atelectasis. Pathologic examination of the excised lungs showed diffusely compress...
متن کاملAtelectasis and survival after bronchoscopic lung volume reduction for COPD.
Bronchoscopic therapies to reduce lung volumes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease are intended to avoid the risks associated with lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) or to be used in patient groups in whom LVRS is not appropriate. Bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR) using endobronchial valves to target unilateral lobar occlusion can improve lung function and exercise capacity in p...
