Furthermore, the intense postoperative pain often leads to the use of narcotics to be controlled, reducing the respiratory function (by suppressing the respiratory drive) causing the reduction of pulmonary hygiene and an increased number of atelectatic areas.

An alternate hypothesis has been proposed where reperfusion injury results in reexpansion pulmonary edema.[6] Absent ventilation and hypoperfusion owing to atelectasis leads to severe hypoxia of the atelectatic lung.
Reexpansion pulmonary edema after treatment of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax
IS group patient tried to achieve their pre-operative level of inspiratory effort and hence resulted in good expansion of lungs, decreased cases of atelectatic respiratory complications and pulmonary oedema.
EFFECT OF PREOPERATIVE INCENTIVE SPIROMETRY IN PREVENTION OF POST-OPERATIVE PULMONARY COMPLICATIONS IN CARDIAC SURGICAL PATIENTS
Recruitment of atelectatic lung units is an integral goal of mechanical ventilation, but human lungs are not balloons--they are fractal branches and cannot be perfectly inflated with a constant volume at a constant rate.
Applying fractal geometry to mechanical ventilation
Some histological sections exhibited catarrhal bronchitis and atelectatic changes in association with pronounced eosinophilic granulomatous alveolitis.

Round Atelectasis.--Specimens showing atelectatic lung with apparent fibrosis and overlying pleural fibrosis, especially in patients with a history of pleural effusions, should prompt consideration of round atelectasis.
Approach to Lung Biopsies From Patients With Pneumothorax
PET/CT enabled better differentiation between hypermetabolic tumors and atelectatic lung parenchyma or areas of adjacent pneumonitis, as previously reported [27] (Figures 6(a) and 6(b)).
