Q

occurs from the lesion of the thorax compresses the lungs.

A

Compression

18
Q

is secondary to increased pressure exerted on the lung causing the alveoli to collapse. In other words,there is a “decrease” transmural pressure gradient

A

Compression

19
Q

> It results from the severe scarring of the lung parenchyma and caused by the necrotizing pneumonia.

A

Cicatrization

20
Q

> Refers to the condition where the reduction of nitrogen concentration in the lungs causes a collapse

A

Absorption

21
Q

surfactant deficiency. ARDS

A

Adhesive

22
Q

results when pleural effusion or
Pneumothorax eliminates contact between parietal pleura and
visceral pleura.

A

Relaxation

23
Q

> Occurs as consequence of diseases with chronic pleural scarring, especially asbestos-related pleural disease and TB.

A

Rounded

26
Q

Treatment

A
