ABSTRACT

The total lung atelectasis is an uncommon complication observed in critically ill patients, secondary to the obstruction of the main bronchus, caused by adherent secretions, resulting in a difficult aspiration. Continuous clinical examination and a high clinical suspicion are important for the diagnosis and treatment of this complication. The treatment of this complication is bronchoscopy.
