| Description |
Aspiration of particulate matter (meconium) producing ball-valve mechanism and air-trapping with subsequent air leak complication. If bronchus is only partially occluded during inspiration (A) when airways are dilated due to low intrathoracic pressure (represented by black arrows), gas may enter but then is trapped during expiration (B) when the airways are constricted by increased intrathoracic pressure. |
