Right PICC tip is in the lower SVC
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'; 'Support Devices'
In comparison with the earlier study of this date, the tip of the PICC line is somewhat difficult to demonstrate. It probably extends to or just past the level of the cavoatrial junction and could be pulled back about 2 cm to definitely be within the superior vena cava.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Pneumothorax'; 'Support Devices'
AP chest compared to ___ at 5:09 p.m.: A small-to-moderate left pneumothorax is slightly smaller. Left pleural tube still sharply folded raising questions about its function.

Again there are atelectatic changes at both bases, a now more prominent on the right. Continued enlargement of the cardiac silhouette. There is mild indistinctness of pulmonary vessels, which could reflect mild elevation of pulmonary venous pressure.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Enlarged Cardiomediastinum'; 'Lung Opacity'
As compared to ___ radiograph, the left hemi thorax is now nearly completely opacified with probable shift of the mediastinum towards the right, although patient rotation limits assessment of this factor. Overall appearance of the opacities in the left hemi thorax, which are more prominent peripherally than centrally, favor a large multiloculated pleural effusion as the predominant finding, coexisting with adjacent Lung atelectasis with only a small amount of residual aerated lung in the left juxta hilar region. In the setting of recent cardiovascular surgery, hemothorax should be considered.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Opacity'
Since the prior radiograph, there has been progression of bilateral diffuse patchy opacities, most marked in the left peripheral mid and lower lung zones. Given the rapid progression, this is most consistent with new edema. Alternatively, could be due to infection, a toxic or allergic drug reaction or hemorrhage. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is normal. The heart size is stable. Surgical clips are noted in the right upper abdomen.

Right lower lobe opacity has also progressed and might be consistent with progression of the infectious process within the lungs.
chest x-ray; 'Support Devices'
Endotracheal tube terminates 3.6 cm above the carina. Enteric tube courses below the diaphragm, out of the field of view. Streaky right base opacity is worrisome for pneumonia or aspiration versus atelectasis given adjacent mild elevation of the right hemidiaphragm. The left lung is grossly clear.

Differential diagnosis, anatomically are 3 very different abnormalities, left lower lobe collapse, which was seen on the chest ___ ___, juxta mediastinal hematoma in the pleural space, or posterior mediastinal hematoma. Unfortunately the findings on the chest radiograph are not specific. Of note, the contour of the aortic knob has not changed and if there were bleeding originating from the ascending aortic graft, I would expect that to be reflected in a change in contour of the knob. Size and appearance of the cardiac silhouette are stable. Substantial right pleural effusion and atelectasis are unchanged. Severe subcutaneous emphysema, extending up into the neck has not improved and a small left pneumothorax is now evident. Left pleural and midline drains are still in place.

Pleural effusion minimal if any. No pneumothorax.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Opacity'
Heart size is mildly enlarged. Mediastinal contour is unremarkable. The hilar contours are difficult to evaluate due to presence of widespread bilateral patchy consolidations compatible with multifocal pneumonia. There is no large pleural effusion or pneumothorax.

1. Interval intubation with the endotracheal tube having its tip at the thoracic inlet, approximately 5.5 cm above the carina. Right subclavian Port-A-Cath continues to have its tip in the proximal right atrium. There continues to be airspace consolidations in both lower lobes as well as more patchy opacities in the both upper lobes and right mid lung. These findings are not significantly changed since 3:17 a.m. but are concerning for a multifocal pneumonia/aspiration. Sclerosis of the right coracoid process is consistent with known metastasis. No pleural effusions. No large pneumothorax, although the sensitivity to detect a pneumothorax is diminished given semi-erect positioning. Overall cardiac and mediastinal contours are stable.
chest x-ray; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Support Devices'

chest x-ray; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Edema'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Support Devices'
Severe enlargement of the cardiac silhouette is recently unchanged, consistent with cardiomegaly and/or pericardial effusion. Left lower lobe is air less, due to severe atelectasis and/or pneumonia. Moderate bilateral pleural effusion has increased and mild pulmonary edema may have developed. Persistent mediastinal widening could be explained by vascular engorgement alone,adenopathy could be present as well. CT scanning would be required for that evaluation, and to detect pneumonia that might be obscured on the conventional radiograph. ET tube in standard placement, esophageal drainage tube passes into stomach and out of view. Right jugular line ends in the region of the superior cavoatrial junction. No pneumothorax.

The previously noted linear opacities in the bases bilaterally have improved. There are no other new opacities. Heart size is stable. The mediastinal and hilar contours are stable. The pulmonary vasculature is normal. No pleural effusion or pneumothorax is seen. There are no acute osseous abnormalities.
chest x-ray; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Pneumothorax'
Upright radiograph of the chest demonstrates a new small apical pneumothorax on the left. There has also been interval decrease in size of left pleural effusion since the prior study. A left-sided pigtail catheter remains in the lower left lung base. Numerous bilateral pulmonary nodules are again seen, along with bibasilar atelectasis and a small right pleural effusion. A right Port-A-Cath is unchanged in position.
chest x-ray; 'Edema'
Right-sided PICC is again seen terminating in the low SVC. Since the prior study, there has been increase in interstitial and airspace opacities bilaterally suggesting moderate pulmonary edema, possibly of a background of chronic lung disease. Lateral left lung scarring is again seen. Small pleural effusions may be present. No pneumothorax is seen. Cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are stable. .
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Pleural Effusion'
With the chin in flexion, the endotracheal tube is less than 2 cm from the carina and care should be taken to not advance it any further. A left subclavian line is again seen at the thoracic inlet and a left IJ catheter is in the mid SVC. An enteric tube is seen with its tip extending below the level of the diaphragm. The left lower lobe remains consolidated and the leftward mediastinal shift is slightly more pronounced indicating greater component of atelectasis responsible for the persistent small to moderate left pleural effusion. The heart is moderately enlarged. There is no appreciable pleural fluid on the right and no pneumothorax.
chest x-ray; 'Cardiomegaly'
Single portable view of the chest is compared to previous exam from ___. The lungs are grossly clear, given limitation of portable technique and patient's body habitus. Cardiac silhouette is enlarged but stable. Dual-lead pacing device is again seen. Previously documented right-sided pulmonary nodule is not delineated on the current exam, CT is more sensitive. Median sternotomy wires are seen.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'; 'Support Devices'
In comparison with the earlier study of this date, there has been placement of a right IJ catheter that extends to the mid to lower portion of the SVC. Otherwise, little change.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Pneumonia'; 'Support Devices'
I cannot be sure whether a small vague opacity in the right Lung just above the minor fissure at the level of the third anterior rib is new, much less how old is. If it is acute, it is small infection or infarction, but it could be chronic or the residual of a since resolved infection. I would repeat a chest radiograph in 24 hr. Lungs are otherwise clear. Heart size is normal. Pleural effusion minimal if any. Right PIC line ends in the low SVC.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Pleural Effusion'
Focal opacity is noted at the right lung base with likely atelectasis at the left lung base. A moderate right pleural effusion is present. The cardiomediastinal silhouette and hilar contours are normal. There is no pneumothorax.
chest x-ray; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Support Devices'
Portable supine frontal radiograph of the chest demonstrates in the ETT ending just below the level of the carina pointing into the right mainstem bronchus. A subclavian catheter crosses the midline into the opposite subclavian vein. A ___ catheter seen within the stomach. Bilateral chest tubes are in place. There are bilateral lower lung opacities likely reflecting aspiration given the clinical setting; although, infection or contusion or possible. Very low lung volumes with apparent enlargement of the cardiac silhouette which is likely due to technique. No large pleural effusion or pneumothorax.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Opacity'
Single AP upright portable view of the chest was obtained. There is mild-to-moderate pulmonary edema/vascular congestion. More confluent medial right base opacity is seen, which likely represents confluence of vascular structures, although an early consolidation is not excluded in the appropriate clinical setting. Difficult to exclude small left pleural effusion. The cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are unremarkable. If the patient able, dedicated PA and lateral views would be helpful for further evaluation.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'
Single frontal view of the chest. No current convincing evidence of pneumothorax. Bibasilar atelectasis and low lung volumes persist. No pleural effusion. Heart size and cardiomediastinal contours are normal.
chest x-ray; 'Edema'; 'Pleural Effusion'
1) Interval removal of lines and tubes. 2) CHF findings and left lower lobe collapse and/or consolidation and effusion are unchanged. 3) Findings at the right base are slightly different in configuration but overall similar. 4) No pneumothorax detected.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'
No focal consolidation is seen. There is no pleural effusion or pneumothorax. The cardiac silhouette is mild to moderately enlarged. Mediastinal contours are grossly unremarkable. No pulmonary edema is seen. Heterogeneity projecting over the upper image most likely relates to external artifact.
chest x-ray; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Consolidation'; 'Pneumothorax'; 'Support Devices'
In comparison with study of ___, the monitoring and support devices continue. The area of basal pneumothorax on the right appears to have been substantially filled with fluid. Otherwise, little overall change in the appearance of the heart and lungs with continued left basilar consolidation consistent with aspiration or infection.
