Atelectasis development of atelectasis include: type of surgery (thoracic, cardiopulmonary surgeries), use of muscle relaxation, obesity, high oxygen, the lower lung segments. Factors not associated with the development of atelectasis include: age, presence of COPD or asthma, and type of anesthetic. In the early 1950s, in UK aviation medicine, the condition "acceleration atelectasis" was given the name "Hunter Lung" due to its prevalence in pilots of the transonic fighter jet the Hawker Hunter, which used a 100% oxygen schedule. Clinically significant atelectasis is generally visible on chest X-ray; findings can include lung opacification and/or loss of lung volume. Post-surgical atelectasis will
Composition of the human body not in an essential biological role. The average adult human body contains approximately atoms and contains at least detectable traces of 60 chemical elements. About 29 of these elements are thought to play an active positive role in life and health in humans. The relative amounts of each element vary by individual, mainly due to differences in the proportion of fat, muscle and bone in their body. Persons with more fat will have a higher proportion of carbon and a lower proportion of most other elements (the proportion of hydrogen will be about the same). The numbers in the table
