Overview

Patients with atelectasis have hypoxemia with low levels of PaO2 and normal/low PaCO2 levels on ABG analysis. Raised peak and end-inspiratory plateau pressures due to decreased lung compliance are also present in these patients.

Laboratory Findings

Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of atelectasis include:
- Hypoxemia with low levels of PaO2 on aterial blood gas analysis
- Normal/low PaCO2 levels on arterial blood gas analysis
- Raised peak and end-inspiratory plateau pressures due to decreased lung compliance
