In addition, there is likely airspace opacity within the right middle lobe as the right heart border is obscured. Findings are felt to less likely represent pulmonary edema.

chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Support Devices'
Support lines and tubes are unchanged in position. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is prominent but stable. There is mild improved aeration. There remains atelectasis at the lung bases and a left retrocardiac opacity. There are no pneumothoraces.
chest x-ray; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Support Devices'
Right PICC line tip is at the level of lower SVC. Cardiomediastinal silhouette is unchanged. Right pleural effusion is moderate, unchanged. Mild vascular congestion is demonstrated but overall no substantial change since the previous examination has been demonstrated within the chest.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Support Devices'
As compared to the previous radiograph, the monitoring and support devices, including the endotracheal tube, are unchanged. The tip of the endotracheal tube now projects approximately 7 cm above the carina and could be advanced slightly, by approximately 1 to 2 cm. Minimal blunting of the costophrenic sinus on the left suggests the presence of a small left pleural effusion, combined to a pre-existing retrocardiac atelectasis. No overt pulmonary edema. No pneumonia. Unchanged moderate cardiomegaly.

The uppermost of 2 right pleural drainage catheters remains sharply folded, which may account for persistence of the nearby loculated costal hemothorax. The lower tube is angulated, and could be fissural, which would, in turn explain persistence of the basal collection. A lateral view or chest CT scanning would be required to assess the location of the tubes with respect to the pleural fluid collections. Left lower lobe remains collapsed, and moderate left pleural effusion is still present. There is no pneumothorax on either side. Cardiac silhouette remains mildly enlarged. Mediastinum is unremarkable and unchanged. Cannula projecting over the right heart is unchanged in position. Tip of the ET tube is above the upper margin of the clavicles, no less than 7 cm from the carina and could be advanced 3 cm for more secure positioning. Swan-___ catheter ends in the pulmonary outflow tract. Feeding tube and esophageal drainage tube passes into the stomach and out of view. Right jugular line ends in the low SVC.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Support Devices'
In comparison with the earlier study of this date, there has been placement of an endotracheal tube with its tip approximately 6.5 cm above the carina. Nasogastric tube has been placed that extends well into the stomach. Extensive free intraperitoneal gas with bibasilar opacifications persist.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'
As compared to chest radiograph from the same day, overall no substantial change of the right lung. Slight improvement in the left lung. ETT is 3 cm from the carina. The tip of the nasogastric tube in the stomach, partially beyond view of this chest radiograph. Mild pulmonary edema and moderate bilateral effusions unchanged. Persistent lower lobe opacities likely reflect atelectasis and effusions. No pneumothorax.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Support Devices'
Interval placement of an ECMO cannula via a right internal jugular approach and extending to the junction of the right atrium and inferior vena cava. No visible pneumothorax. Endotracheal tube and nasogastric tube remain in standard position. Widespread bilateral airspace opacities involving the left lung to a greater degree than the right have slightly progressed in the interval, and a moderate-sized left pleural effusion has also worsened.
chest x-ray; 'Atelectasis'; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Support Devices'
In comparison with the study of earlier in this date, the endotracheal to tip lies about 5.4 cm above the carina. Other monitoring and support devices are unchanged. No evidence of pneumothorax. Retrocardiac opacification is consistent with volume loss small left lower lobe and pleural effusion. Less prominent effusion and atelectasis on the right. Mild elevation of pulmonary venous pressure.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Lesion'; 'Support Devices'
A right chest tubes are in place. Heart size and mediastinum are stable. No appreciable pneumothorax or pleural effusion is noted. A right suprahilar mass is unchanged in appearance.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'
The cardiac, mediastinal and hilar contours appear unchanged. Streaky right basilar opacification with volume loss suggests chronic atelectasis or scarring, also unchanged. There is potentially a small pleural effusion on the right, but no evidence for one on the left. There is no pneumothorax. As previously noted, the available AP view of the left shoulder suggests dislocation with possible healed or healing fractures suggested by irregular sclerosis along the margin of the glenoid.
chest x-ray; 'No Finding'
The lungs are clear. 4-mm right lower lobe nodule seen on recent CT is not visualized on this exam. The cardiomediastinal silhouette is unremarkable. The hilar contours are unremarkable. There are no pleural effusions or pneumothoraces seen. The bones are intact.
chest x-ray; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Lung Opacity'
As compared to the previous radiograph, no relevant change is seen. Extensive bilateral basal parenchymal opacities, likely reflecting infected areas of bronchiectasis, as documented on the CT examination from ___. Moderate cardiomegaly without pulmonary edema. A minimal right pleural effusion could be present. No pneumothorax.
chest x-ray; 'Lung Opacity'; 'Pleural Other'
There has been interval removal of a left central venous line. ___ again overlie the right chest. There is slight decrease in opacity in the right mid chest with slight improvement of aeration of the right lung. Again seen is lateral pleural thickening along the staple line. Right greater than left biapical pleural thickening is seen. Cardiac and mediastinal silhouettes are stable. No pulmonary edema is seen.
chest x-ray; 'Cardiomegaly'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Support Devices'
Large right pleural effusion and moderate left effusion are grossly unchanged. Evaluation of cardiac size and vascular congestion is limited. ET tube is in standard position. NG tube tip is in the stomach. Right IJ catheter tip is in the right atrium
chest x-ray; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Support Devices'
Position of left pleural catheter has slightly changed since recent study of earlier the same date, and note is made of slight increase in small to moderate left pleural effusion. No other relevant changes since the recent study.
chest x-ray; 'Consolidation'; 'Pleural Effusion'; 'Pneumonia'
AP radiograph of the chest demonstrates stable cardiomediastinal silhouette. No definitive pneumothorax is noted on the current study. Bilateral pleural effusions and bibasal consolidations are noted. Overall, no definitive focal consolidation which could be new and explain the patient's symptoms is demonstrated but bibasal or unibasal pneumonia is a possibility.
chest x-ray; 'Support Devices'
Since ___, a tracheostomy tube is been placed. A small amount of pneumomediastinum has developed following the procedure, but there is no visible pneumothorax. Lungs are clear except for minor atelectasis at the left base.
