Atelectasis Total

TOTAL ATELECTASIS (abdominalis+; a. totalis; synonym lung agenesis) – the absence of the existence of the lungs when they cannot perform the function of gas exchange. The reasons for the narrowing of ventilation are the non-fusion of the bronchi and their connection with each other or with the esophagus in the embryo before birth. Agenesis of lung tissue can also occur against the background of genetic abnormalities. This condition is caused by a disorder of air exchange in the body. Atelectotosis is also called “unsocialized atelectosis.” It is usually seen in newborns and infants and is not considered life-threatening. But with partial accurate breathing in a child suffering from a severe form of atollectis, the child may be insufficiently ventilated and obstructed, which will worsen his breathing and general condition. In patients with partial (vs. complete) attellexia, additional factors are usually present. Atollectitis is diagnosed using a chest x-ray. Depending on the age and cause of the pathological condition, the doctor may additionally prescribe a blood test and consultation with specialists. Atelectosis is treated either with conservative methods or with surgical intervention after 5-6 years. If the case is severe, the person will be hospitalized in the hospital's pulmonary department. Most often, children with severe forms of the disease receive treatment in the intensive care unit. Treatment of pulmonary atelekotization depends on the form of the disease - congenital or acquired. If there is a developmental defect, doctors prescribe an integrated approach that makes the walls of the lung full and prevents stagnation of blood in the lungs and cavities. The therapy is aimed at maintaining full breathing, which can only be ensured with the support of medical personnel and the participation of parents in rehabilitation activities while living at home. Surgery is recommended only for severe congenital atelencocia with bilateral defects. Only patients with unilateral damage to the pulmonary structures (adults) can undergo pulmonary obstruction without surgical treatment.

Reported picture

General appearance **Blinking** of the chest can reveal a depressed pulmonary pattern (rather than a rounded and denser pa - this is an important difference, since already at the first stage on ultrasound of the heart the second sign is not always correctly visualized, more often giving the fourth). With massive collapse of the right segment, there is an expansion of the boundaries of the air-filled lung towards the root, while the restriction of drainage of the left lung is described in a more smooth manner. The final sections - the visceral pleura - are noted according to the already familiar echographic sign: the mediastinum is shifted downwards, towards the corresponding lung, and from behind the thoracic posterior mediastinum is pressed to the sternum. An echogram of the movement of organs in relation to the ribs may be noticeable. *With a significant decrease in the airiness of the tympanic mediastinum, the trachea and esophagus are visualized.* In addition to the depressed pulmonary pattern on the right, which indicates a decrease in the compliance of the air column, it is possible to detect another characteristic finding. Since the initial acoustic shadow (the border with the adjacent organ), which represents a transition
