Fluids shift into the alveoli, the alveoli, and bronchial collapse, and they lose lung compliance.
The lung starts to repair itself; this is when the patient starts to get better or the condition deteriorates.
Fibrous tissue forms, and the lungs don't expand well; the effort to breathe increases O2 demand, which causes more effort to breathe.
None of these
