Fig. 1 Absorption atelectasis—administration of a high concentration of inspired oxygen without positive pressure in an infant with respiratory distress can lead to nitrogen washout and alveolar collapse. Atelectasis can result in V/Q mismatch, shunting, and hypoxemic respiratory failure with persistent pulmonary hypertension. (Adapted from Lakshminrusimha S, Saugstad OD. The fetal circulation, pathophysiology of hypoxemic respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension in neonates, and the role of oxygen therapy. J Perinatol 2016;36:S6; with permission.)
