2) barotrauma
3) presence of a PDA
4) fluid overload

126
Q

_______ is a quick method of diagnosing a pneumothorax.

A

Transillumination

127
Q

Exposure to high concentrations of oxygen leads to local inflammation, edema, and thickening of the alveolar membrane. As the exposure is prolonged, the alveolar tissues hemorrhage and become necrotic. The interstitial spaces become fibrotic as the disease progresses. As the lung attempts to heal itself, the new cells are damaged by the same factors, and the disease is perpetuated.
