lungs well (properly) expanded Explanation: Explanation: I think this is a feasible option. For more explanation see the discussion. All the patients had chest radiographs taken upon PICU arrival and all had their lungs well expanded and homogeneous, with no signs of atelec- tasis or pneumothorax. http://icvts.oxfordjournals.org/content/18/5/602.full.pdf What is a pneumothorax? A collapsed lung (pneumothorax) is a buildup of air in the space between the lung and the chest wall (pleural space). As the amount of air in this space increases, the pressure against the lung causes the lung to collapse. This prevents your lung from expanding properly when you try to breathe in, causing shortness of breath and chest pain. http://www.webmd.com/lung/tc/collapsed-lung-pneumothorax-top... |
