"Surgery: Having surgery is a major risk factor for having atelectasis. There are two primary reasons for this: the being on a ventilator during surgery and the inability to cough to clear the lungs while under anesthesia. The ability to take a deep breath and cough helps prevent atelectasis.

Best wishes for a good PET scan on Thursday. Be sure that DH follows the PET preparation guidelines closely in order to avoid possible mis-diagnosis. If you weren't given prep guidelines by the doctor you can find some suitable ones on the internet:

This week, be sure to stay warm and not catch a cold. (It's not a good idea to show up for a lung scan when you have a bad chest cold!)
