I heard that my friend has collapsed lung. My father explained to me why it can happen to somebody but I still don’t know is it dangerous. I hope that it can treat it easily. Can somebody tell me is there a name for collapsed lung? What types of this disease we can recognize?

Yes. Atelectasis is a name for collapsed lung. Atelectasis may be an acute or chronic condition. Acute atelectasis is a common postoperative complication, especially after chest or abdominal surgery. In chronic atelectasis, the affected area is often characterized by a complex mixture of airlessness, infection, widening of the bronchi, destruction, and scarring.
