A right pleural catheter remains in place and there is a slightly smaller but persistent apical lateral pneumothorax. Overall, there is improving aeration at the right base with decrease in size of the pleural collection. The heart remains markedly enlarged which may reflect cardiomegaly, although a pericardial effusion cannot be excluded. Opacity at the left base most likely reflects partial lower lobe atelectasis, although pneumonia cannot be excluded. No evidence of pulmonary edema. |
|
AP portable upright view of the chest. Lungs are clear though lucent and hyperinflated which likely reflect COPD. A tiny clip projects over the right upper lung. Scarring in the right lung apex appears slightly more conspicuous. No effusion or pneumothorax. No convincing evidence for pneumonia or edema. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal.

|
There has been no improvement in the moderately severe interstitial abnormality throughout the left lung with greater coalescence on the right. Findings could be explained by pulmonary edema and concurrent right-sided pneumonia or even pulmonary hemorrhage. Heart is normal size and pleural effusions are small if any. The right PIC line still extends approximately 7 cm across the midline beyond the origin of the SVC. No pneumothorax. |
|
Moderate cardiomegaly is unchanged. Mediastinum is unchanged. The patient is intubated with the ET tube tip being 3.6 cm above the carinal. Lungs are overall clear except for minimal bibasal atelectasis. The OG tube tip is most likely in the stomach. |

There is similar patchy opacity at each lung base suggesting minor atelectasis or scarring. Otherwise, the lungs appear clear. Acute process is doubtful. |
|
Following recent right thoracentesis, a right pleural effusion has decreased in size, with residual moderate right pleural effusion, which appears partially loculated. A small lucency within the area of pleural fluid may reflect a small loculated hydropneumothorax, but there is no substantial apical pneumothorax. Cardiomediastinal contours are within normal limits. Bibasilar areas of atelectasis have slightly improved since the previous study. Small left pleural effusion is also demonstrated. |
|
1. Left subclavian central line continues to have its tip in the proximal to mid SVC. A nasogastric tube is seen coursing below the diaphragm with the tip coiled within the stomach. Interval removal of the endotracheal tube. Interval removal of the right internal jugular central line. Pleural and abdominal drains remain in place. Left basilar chest tube remains in place. No definite pneumothorax is seen. Interval reduction in lung volumes with crowding of the pulmonary vasculature. Areas of probable patchy atelectasis within the right lung related to the interval decrease in lung volumes. Multiple bilateral rib fractures again are seen. Overall, cardiac and mediastinal contours are likely stable given differences in positioning and inspiration. |
|
Single supine AP portable view of the chest was obtained. No focal consolidation is seen. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The cardiac silhouette is top-normal, likely exaggerated by supine, AP technique. No displaced fracture is identified. |

|
Right PICC line tip not well seen. Enteric tube tip below diaphragm. Shallow inspiration. Bibasilar opacities, likely atelectasis, similar to prior. Mild interstitial prominence in the lower lungs, may represent edema, similar. Shallow inspiration accentuates heart size, pulmonary vascularity. Probable small right pleural effusion, similar. No pneumothorax. Chronic fracture right clavicle. |
|
Compared to the prior study, the lung volumes are slightly lower and there is volume loss in both lower lungs. There is ill definition of the left hemidiaphragm and it is unclear if there is a small infiltrate in this region. There is a new small left pleural effusion. The heart size continues to be moderately enlarged. The dual-lead pacemaker is unchanged. There is mild pulmonary vascular redistribution. |
|
Allowing for lower lung volumes, which accentuate the cardiac silhouette and bronchovascular structures, there has probably not been a substantial short interval relevant change in the appearance of the chest since the recent study of one day earlier. However, a repeat radiograph at a similar lung volume to the prior radiograph may be considered for more accurate comparison if the patient's clinical status has changed in the last 24 hours. |

A Dobbhoff tube also passes below the level of the diaphragm and out of the field of view inferiorly. An additional tube/wire projects over the right cervical region, possibly external to the patient, unchanged. Widespread bilateral interstitial opacities are minimally increased, particularly within the right mid lung. Bibasilar left greater than right heterogeneous opacities are likely atelectasis. There are no definite pleural effusions. No pneumothorax is seen. The heart size is top normal, unchanged. The mediastinal contours are normal. |
|

|
Comparison is made to the prior study performed a day earlier. Cardiac size is normal. The aorta is tortuous. Large bilateral pleural effusions with associated atelectasis and pulmonary edema are unchanged. Lines and tubes are in standard position. |
|
Frontal chest radiograph. Supine positioning accentuates moderate cardiomegaly as well as vascular congestion which with mediastinal venous dilatation is more pronounced over three hours probably due to volume administration. Small right and moderate left pleural effusions have increased, but there is no pulmonary edema. Bibasilar opacities consistent with effusions and atelectasis. No pneumothorax. Rib fractures better seen on concurrent CT. |
|
No previous images. The heart is normal size and there is no vascular congestion, pleural effusion, or acute focal pneumonia. Streaks of atelectasis are seen at both bases. |
|
Right PICC line tip is in the L level of mid to lower SVC. The up of tube passes below the diaphragm most likely terminating in the stomach. No change in the mild cardiomegaly and mediastinal contour demonstrated. Patient continues to be in severe pulmonary edema. Underlying infection, although possibility, is less likely all might contribute to certain extent to the above described abnormalities. |
|
In comparison with the earlier study of this date, the tip of the endotracheal tube measures approximately 3.2 cm above the carina. Little overall change in the appearance of the heart and lungs. |
|
A single portable AP chest radiograph was obtained. Lung volumes are low. The lungs are clear. There is no focal consolidation, effusion or pneumothorax. Heart size is still normal, but azygous and mediastinal veins are mildly dilated, perhaps an indication of right heart dysfunction or other cause of elevated central venous pressure.

|
Since prior, left pleural effusion has slightly decreased in size. The lungs are grossly clear. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged. Small right pleural has resolved. There is no pneumothorax. |
|
A single portable AP upright view of the chest was obtained. Heart is normal size and cardiomediastinal contour is notable for calcifications in the aortic arch. Hyperinflated and hyperlucent lungs are suggestive of emphysema. There is no consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax. |
|
Extensive nodular densities project over the lungs bilaterally consistent with pleural plaques secondary to prior asbestos exposure. Interval improvement of previously seen pulmonary vascular congestion and trace pulmonary edema stable right pleural effusion. With this improvement previously seen left mid lung airspace opacification since consistent with known pleural plaques. |
|
The lung volumes are low. Mild fluid overload but no overt pulmonary edema. Mild cardiomegaly. No pleural effusions. No pneumonia, no pneumothorax. |

There is no definite pleural effusion. There is no pneumothorax. |
|
A skin fold projecting over the left lateral chest should not be mistaken for pneumothorax. Moderate cardiomegaly is accompanied by pulmonary vascular congestion and possibly mild pulmonary edema. Heterogeneous appearance of the lower lungs particularly the right could be due to chronic lung disease, but would make it difficult to detect early pneumonia. There is no pneumonia in the upper lungs. Small right pleural effusion is likely. |
|
Single frontal view of the chest was obtained. Free air is present underneath both hemidiaphragms. Lung volumes are low. The vascular pedicle is widened and there is slightly increased rightward shift of the trachea, which may be projectional. Multi focal ill-defined lung opacities are similar to prior and consistent with history of sarcoidosis although superimposed infection cannot be excluded. No pneumothorax or substantial pleural effusion. Chain sutures in the right mid lung are similar to prior. |
|
AP single view of the chest has been obtained with patient in sitting semi-upright position. Comparison is made with the next preceding similar study obtained seven hours earlier during the same day. The AP single radiograph demonstrates unchanged position of the previously described small caliber pigtail ending pleural drainage catheter. There is no evidence of any remaining apical pneumothorax. However, hazy density occupying the entire left side hemithorax and elevated diaphragm is suggestive of pleural effusions layering in the posterior pleural spaces. The right hemithorax is unremarkable as before. |
|
Feeding tube has been repositioned, now ending in the region of the pylorus. Lung volumes are low but no focal pulmonary abnormality is seen. Heart size probably normal. No pneumothorax or significant pleural effusion. Right pic line ends in the low SVC. |
|
1. Nasogastric tube remains unchanged in position. Right chest tube also remains in place, unchanged. A left subclavian central line has its tip in the distal SVC, unchanged. There continues to be a small left effusion with associated air space opacity most likely representing compressive atelectasis. Bibasilar opacity is also again seen likely representing a combination of postoperative changes and atelectasis. No evidence of pulmonary edema. No pneumothorax. Stable cardiac and mediastinal contours. |
|
Compared to the prior study there is no significant interval change.Trace left pleural effusion versus basilar atelectasis. Otherwise, grossly clear lungs bilaterally |
|
As compared to the prior examination, there has been no significant interval change. The patient is status post VATS right hilar nodal biopsy, and there is no overt pneumothorax identified. A right chest tube is in unchanged location. Small, bilateral pleural effusions are unchanged. Allowing for differences in the patient positioning, the cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged. |
|
An endotracheal tube is in place terminating 2.7 cm above the carina. The cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are within normal limits. There are several small foci of peripheral opacity within the right mid and lower lung, concerning for infection or aspiration. The left lung is clear. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. |

|
In comparison with the earlier study of this date, the patient has taken a slightly better inspiration. The right subclavian catheter extends to the cavoatrial junction or upper portion of the right atrium. Nasogastric tube extends to the second portion of the duodenum. Opacification at the left base is again consistent with substantial volume loss in the left lower lobe and pleural effusion. Less prominent atelectatic changes are seen at the right base. The pulmonary vascularity is probably within normal limits given the low lung volumes, which accentuate the transverse diameter of the heart. |
|
There is diffuse hazy opacification of the lungs, compatible with edema. There are suspected small bilateral pleural effusions. No pneumothorax is seen. No definite consolidation to suggest pneumonia is seen. There is mild cardiomegaly. |

|
A small left-sided pneumothorax is probably unchanged. There has been no significant short-term change. |
