reinflated

Reinflated is a term used to describe the process of inflating something that has previously been deflated. This can apply to a variety of objects, from balloons and inflatable toys to tires and medical devices. The specific method of reinflation depends on the item in question. For simple items like balloons, reinflation might involve blowing air into them manually or using a pump. For more complex objects, such as a car tire, specialized equipment like an air compressor is typically required. In a medical context, reinflation can refer to procedures like reinflating a collapsed lung (atelectasis) through techniques such as positive pressure ventilation or chest tube insertion. The goal of reinflation is to restore the object to its intended shape, size, and function. The process generally involves introducing a gas, most commonly air, into the object's internal volume until the desired pressure or form is achieved.
