Primary atelectasis of newborn - what does this mean
Primary atelectasis of newborn is a form of lung collapse that occurs in babies shortly after birth due to the inability of the alveoli to inflate properly. this is caused by the baby's immature respiratory system and is usually treated with oxygen therapy and positive pressure ventilation.
What happens during the disease - primary atelectasis of newborn
Primary atelectasis of newborn is a condition in which the lungs of a newborn fail to expand correctly due to an obstruction in the airway or a lack of surfactant production. this obstruction can be caused by a number of factors, including a blockage in the airway due to mucus, fluid, or a foreign body, or a lack of surfactant production due to immature lungs or a genetic defect. the resulting decreased lung volume leads to decreased oxygenation and an inability to maintain normal gas exchange, leading to hypoxemia and respiratory distress.
