Atelectasis is incomplete expansion of the lung of a newborn or a collapsed lung. This happens when the alveoli within the lung become deflated. It's a very common respiratory complication after surgeries, as well as other problems such as cystic fibrosis, lung tumors, fluid in the lung, severe Asthma, chest injuries, etc.
