No free intraperitoneal air seen below the diaphragm. Enteric tube is folded in the distal esophagus with tip projecting over the region of the aortic arch. Repositioning is suggested.
Chest radiograph Support lines and tubes are unchanged in appearance compared to the prior study. Lung volumes are also unchanged, there is persistent left basilar atelectasis. There is increasing opacification seen at the right lung base suspicious for right middle lobe consolidation. Mild cardiomegaly and prominence of the pulmonary vascular is consistent with congestive heart failure, unchanged compared to the prior study.
Support lines and tubes are unchanged in appearance when compared to the prior study. There is persistent silhouetting of the left hemidiaphragm consistent with left lower lobe atelectasis, superimposed infection cannot be excluded. No pneumothorax or pleural effusion seen. No consolidation seen. Even allowing for the projection, the heart appears mildly enlarged with mild pulmonary vascular congestion. No significant interval change when compared to the prior study.
Enteric tube passes below the inferior field of view, side-port past the GE junction. Right central venous catheter tip projects over the lower SVC. There is no confluent consolidation. Pulmonary vascular congestion is noted. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged. Additional catheter projects over the upper abdomen and cardiac silhouette to be correlated clinically (external?) Interval placement of endotracheal tube and enteric tubes as above.
Right-sided central venous catheter seen with tip at the RA SVC junction. There is no pneumothorax. The lungs are clear. There is no large effusion or consolidation. Moderate cardiomegaly is similar compared to prior. S-shaped thoracic scoliosis is again noted. Cardiomegaly without superimposed acute cardiopulmonary process.
Right PICC tip is in the lower SVC. Moderate cardiomegaly is stable. Bibasilar opacities larger on the left side have slightly increased on the left, a combination of effusion and atelectasis. Moderate pulmonary edema has progressed. There is no pneumothorax No pneumothorax. Worsening pulmonary edema, effusion and bibasilar atelectasis.
Support lines and tubing are unchanged in position when compared to the prior study. Catheter tubing projecting over the left heart border is presumed to represent a pericardial drain. Lung volumes are unchanged compared to the prior study with persistent left lower lobe atelectasis. Mild prominence of the pulmonary vasculature with haziness of the upper lobe pulmonary vessels consistent with a mild degree of congestive heart failure. No pneumothorax seen. A hazy airspace opacity in the left lower lung is similar when compared to the prior study and likely represents atelectasis. No significant interval change when compared to the prior study.
The lungs are clear, the cardiac and mediastinal contours are normal, there is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. No displaced rib fractures are identified. No clavicular or humeral head fractures are seen. Surgical clips seen in the right upper quadrant. No evidence of trauma or acute cardiopulmonary process.
There are low lung volumes with mild bibasilar atelectasis. No focal consolidation is seen. There is no large pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. No overt pulmonary edema is seen. Low lung volumes with bibasilar atelectasis. No focal consolidation seen. No overt pulmonary edema.
An enteric tube tip is within the stomach. The side port is not well assessed, but likely is at the GE junction. Heart size is normal. The aorta is tortuous. Fullness of the hila is noted bilaterally. No pulmonary edema is seen. Streaky opacity within the left lung base likely reflects atelectasis. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is seen. No displaced fractures are visualized. Standard position of the endotracheal tube. Enteric tube tip within the stomach, but the side port is likely at the GE junction, and should be advanced. Left basilar atelectasis. Fullness of both hila, which could reflect underlying lymphadenopathy.
A single portable AP chest radiograph was obtained. Bibasilar scarring and atelectasis is similar. Trace bilateral pleural effusions are slightly larger. No new consolidation is present. A right pigtail catheter is in unchanged position. There is no pneumothorax. An unused pacing lead extends from the right chest to the right atrium. Unchanged bibasilar atelectasis and scarring. Increase of trace bilateral pleural effusions.
The right-sided chest tube and endotracheal tube has been removed. Residual pacemaker wire, nasogastric tube, and left-sided chest tube remain. A small right apical pneumothorax is seen. However it is decreased since the prior study. There is a left retrocardiac opacity. There is some increased opacity within the right mid lung field. The left-sided central venous catheter tip is unchanged. Small right apical pneumothorax which is decreased since the prior radiograph. There has been removal of the right-sided chest tube. Developing opacity within the right mid lung field and left retrocardiac opacity which is stable.
Cardiomediastinal and hilar contours are stable. Pulmonary vascular engorgement with mild pulmonary edema is seen. Bibasilar opacities likely reflect a combination of atelectasis and edema. No pneumothorax. No large pleural effusion. Pulmonary vascular engorgement with mild edema. Trace basilar opacities likely reflect a combination of atelectasis and edema however infection should be considered in the appropriate setting.
AP portable semi upright view of the chest. Overlying EKG leads are noted. Previously noted right IJ central venous catheter is been removed. There has been interval improvement in pulmonary edema which appears nearly resolved. The heart remains mildly enlarged. No signs of pneumonia. No effusion or pneumothorax. Bony structures remain intact. As above.
Portable semi-upright radiograph of the chest demonstrates the interval placement of a right internal jugular venous catheter. The tip terminates in the region of the upper SVC. The remainder of the examination is stable. Right internal jugular venous catheter with tip terminating in the region of the upper SVC.
AP supine portable chest radiograph obtained. There is a left IJ central venous catheter with its tip in the expected level of the superior vena cava. There is opacity at the left lung base which could reflect consolidation and/or effusion. There is elevation of the right hemidiaphragm which appears chronic. There is associated right lung base atelectasis. No pneumothorax is seen. Heart size appears stable. Clips are noted in the right upper quadrant. Appropriately positioned left IJ central venous catheter. No evidence of complication. Left basal opacity likely consolidation with possible effusion.
