bronchoscopy, lungs, respiratory system, partial lung collapse, atelectasis, collapse of part, all of a lung by blockage, the air passages, bronchus, bronchioles, by very shallow breathing, pneumothorax, anesthesia, prolonged bed rest, few changes in position, shallow breathing, underlying lung diseases, risk factors, atelectasis, secretions that plug the airway, foreign objects, common in children, airway, tumors that obstruct the airway, lead to atelectasis, in an adult, small regions of atelectasis, not life-threatening, unaffected parts, the lung compensate, the loss of function, in the affected area, large-scale atelectasis, in someone who has another lung disease, illness life-threatening, baby, small child, lung collapse, due to a mucus obstruction, life-threatening, massive atelectasis, collapse of a lung, breathing difficulty, chest pain, cough, chest x-ray, bronchoscopy, goal of treatment, remove pulmonary, lung, secretions, re-expand the affected lung tissue, following treatments implemented, aerosolized respiratory treatments, positioning on the unaffected side, re-expansion of lung, removal, the obstruction, by bronchoscopy, another procedure, deep breathing exercises, incentive spirometry, percussion, the chest to loosen secretions, clapping, positioning so that secretions drain by gravity where they, coughed up, postural drainage, treatment of tumor, underlying condition, collapsed lung, re-inflates gradually once the obstruction has been removed, some residual scarring, damage present, pneumonia, develop rapidly after atelectasis, develop symptoms of atelectasis, keep small objects out, the reach of young children, maintain deep breathing after anesthesia, encourage movement, deep breathing in anyone who is bedridden, long periods.
