Other and unspecified atelectasis of newborn - what does this mean
Other and unspecified atelectasis of newborn occurs when the newborn's airways collapse due to a lack of air in the lungs. this can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a lack of surfactant, a blockage in the airways, or a compression of the chest wall. in some cases, the cause may be unknown.
What happens during the disease - other and unspecified atelectasis of newborn
Other and unspecified atelectasis of newborn is a condition in which the alveoli in the lungs fail to expand properly after birth, resulting in poor gas exchange and inadequate oxygenation. this is often caused by immature lung tissue, insufficient surfactant production, or a combination of both. in some cases, atelectasis may also be caused by mechanical obstruction of the airways due to mucus plugging, foreign bodies, or compression from outside the chest.
