Calcified pleural plaques are noted in the right lower pleura
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Edema'; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Pleural Effusion'
Comparison is made with prior study, ___. Moderate cardiomegaly is stable. Right lower lobe atelectasis has markedly increased. The aorta is tortuous. There is no pneumothorax. If any, there are small bilateral pleural effusions. Interstitial opacities likely reflect mild edema, superimposed on emphysema.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Pleural Effusion'
In comparison with the study of ___, there again are low lung volumes. Continued enlargement of the cardiac silhouette with elevated pulmonary venous pressure and layering pleural effusions with compressive atelectasis at the bases. In view of all of these changes, it is difficult to assess for possible superimposed pneumonia.

Again seen is the small right apical pneumothorax. This is similar in size compared to films from the prior evening.

chest x-ray; 'Consolidation'; 'Edema'; 'Pneumonia'
AP chest compared to ___, most recently 12:43 p.m.: Previous consolidation in the right upper lung has improved substantially. The rapidity of change is not consistent with pneumonia, but could have been due to massive aspiration or asymmetric edema. Pulmonary hemorrhage would not clear this fast either. There is still substantial consolidation in the right lower lobe. Left lower lobe is partially obscured but may contain a new region of consolidation partially obscuring the hemidiaphragm. Since the pulmonary vasculature and the mediastinal veins are not engorged, I am doubtful that either of these is asymmetric edema and instead favor recurrent massive aspiration. Hyperinflation indicates COPD.

There is a persistent moderate-to-large right-sided pleural effusion, but substantially reduced. Associated parenchymal opacity suggests persistent partial atelectasis of the right lung. Leftward shift of mediastinal structures has resolved. There is no definite pleural effusion on the left.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'
Single frontal view of the chest demonstrates an ET tube with tip extending to 6 cm above the carina. Prominent cardiac silhouette is likely accentuated by AP technique. Dense retrocardiac opacity is redemonstrated, but somewhat less pronounced as compared to one day prior, which may reflect slight improvement in dependent atelectasis. The upper lungs remain lucent, consistent with moderate-to-severe emphysema correlated with prior CT. There is no pneumothorax. There is no right pleural effusion. A small left pleural effusion is present.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Pneumonia'

Support lines and devices are in standard position. The cardiac silhouette is mildly enlarged with left ventricular configuration. Bilateral confluent areas of airspace opacification are again demonstrated, likely due to multifocal pneumonia. They are located centrally in the left perihilar region, and more diffusely in the right middle and right lower lobes, with interval worsening on right. Additional opacity in left retrocardiac region shows slight improvement from the prior study. Right upper lobe is relatively spared of this process peripherally, but poorly defined central opacities likely reflect coalescing foci of airspace disease. Moderate right pleural effusion has increased in size from the prior study, and small left pleural effusion is unchanged.

AP portable chest radiograph shows decrease in right pleural fluid compared to the study earlier the same day. No pneumothorax is seen. Apparent kinking of the ventriculoperitoneal shunt tubing at the level of the neck on the right may be related to head position.
chest x-ray; 'Edema'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Support Devices'
Compared to chest radiographs ___ through ___. Interval improvement in the previously severe infiltrative pulmonary abnormality is due to decreasing pulmonary edema. What remains could be pneumonia, particular in the right midlung, or noncardiogenic edema. Heart size normal. Pleural effusions small if any. No pneumothorax. ET tube and transesophageal drainage tube in standard placements respectively.
chest x-ray; 'Edema'; 'Pleural Effusion'
Compared to chest radiographs since ___, most recently ___ through ___. Large right pleural effusion appears smaller, but that could be due just to a change in patient position. Mild pulmonary edema in the left lung however has improved. Mediastinal veins are still engorged. Heart is at most moderately enlarged.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'
EKG electrodes seen overlying the chest wall. There is no focal consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is within normal limits. No acute osseous abnormalities identified.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Pneumothorax'; 'Support Devices'
Compared to chest radiographs ___ through ___ at 13:51. Small right apical pneumothorax is new. Small right pleural effusion persists. Distension of the neo esophagus has improved but is probably responsible for scratch considerable right lower lobe atelectasis. Small left pneumothorax is smaller. Left thoracostomy tube sharply folded as it projects over the left hemithorax may not be optimally functioning. No appreciable left pleural effusion. Left basal atelectasis is moderate. Severe subcutaneous emphysema has increased in the left chest wall and both sides of the neck, and pneumomediastinum though small has increased. Heart size normal. ET tube, esophageal drainage tube, and left subclavian line are in standard placements.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'; 'Support Devices'
In comparison with study of ___, the Dobbhoff tube tip remains in the lower esophagus, actually more proximal than on the previous study.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'; 'Support Devices'
The tip of the feeding tube projects over the body of the stomach. No focal consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax identified. The size the cardiac silhouette is within normal limits.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'
Cardiomediastinal silhouette is within normal limits. There are no focal consolidations, pleural effusion, or pulmonary edema. There are no pneumothoraces.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Support Devices'
As compared to the previous radiograph, there is no relevant change. The monitoring and support devices are constant. Minimally increasing atelectasis at the right lung base. Unchanged moderate cardiomegaly. No changes in the left lung.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Support Devices'
In comparison with study of ___, the monitoring and support devices are essentially unchanged. Patient has taken a much better inspiration. Minimal atelectatic changes are seen above the elevated right hemidiaphragm. No evidence of acute pneumonia or vascular congestion.
chest x-ray; 'Edema'; 'Lung Opacity'
ET tube tip lies approximately 7.7 cm above the carina, at the lower edge of the medial clavicular heads. NG tube tip overlies the left upper quadrant. A sideport, if present, does not extend beyond the GE junction. Right IJ central line tip overlies the proximal/mid SVC. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is probably unchanged, allowing for technical differences. Again seen is left lower lobe collapse and/or consolidation and obscuration of the left hemidiaphragm, slightly denser. A small left effusion would be difficult to exclude. Minimal patchy at the right low minimal minimal patchy opacity at the right lung base is also again seen, similar prior. No pneumothorax detected. Doubt overt CHF.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Opacity'
The tracheostomy tube is appropriately positioned. There is a right PICC ending in the low SVC, as before. An enteric catheter passes below the level of the diaphragm, ending within the stomach. There are diffuse bilateral airspace opacities, similar in distribution and severity to the prior radiographs from ___. ___ left retrocardiac atelectasis is unchanged. Probable small bilateral pleural effusions are unchanged. There is no pneumothorax.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'
Bibasilar atelectatic changes are noted, but the lungs are without focal consolidation, effusion, or pneumothorax. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is at upper limits of normal. No acute fractures are identified.
