Hypoventilation - Failure to take deep breaths can result in the collapse of part of the lungs. This is very common during surgery, especially with general anesthesia, and when breathing is shallow due to pain (such as with rib fractures). Hypoventilation is the most common cause of atelectasis.
Usually seen in tension pneumothorax, pleural effusion, abdominal distention and intrathoracic lesions, this occurs when pleural pressure seizes the lungs, keeping it near the chest wall. As the pressure disappears, the lung eventually recoils, causing atelectasis. This is also coined as passive atelectasis.
