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.
Pressure on the lung from fluid or air can cause atelectasis as well as obstruction of lung air passages by thick mucus resulting from various infections and lung diseases. Tumors and inhaled objects can also cause obstruction of the airway, leading to atelectasis.
