Atelectasis (from Greek: á¼ÏÎµÎ»Î®Ï, incomplete + á¼ÎºÏÎ±ÏÎ¹Ï, extension) is defined as the collapse or closure of the lung resulting in reduced or absent gas exchange.
Atelectasis is a condition of the lung that decreases the deep breathing capability of a person. The entire lung, or a part of it, becomes airless and collapses. Atelectasis is not life-threatening to adults, because normally, only a small part of the lung is affected by it.o doubt, if all the alveoli in the lung have been affected, then it can cause a very severe health problem. Also, if a small part of the lung is affected by atelectasis and it continues to remain untreated, then the alveoli may collapse, which would again result in a serious lung infection.
