(a), bilateral, diffuse ground-glass opacities with a mosaic attenuation pattern; and in advanced stages (b–c) more extensive ground-glass opacities and paren- chymal, variable in shape and size cysts (arrows in b and c), whose rupture can sometimes lead to pneumothorax (white * in c...
Citation9Retrospective studies of patients with COVID-19 have suggested that pneumothorax might occur in 1% of those requiring hospital admission, 2% of patients requiring intensive care
CT IMAGE EVALUATION: Two experienced chest radiologists independently evaluated all the chest images. The conclusions of the assessment were discussed, and a consensus was reached. The patients were divided into severe and moderate groups according to the criteria discussed by the clinicians and radiolog...
Pulmonary complications in the study are as follows: (1) atelectasis: a chest X-ray shows pulmonary opacity, mediastinum, hilum, or diaphragm offset to the affected areas and compensatory hyperinflation of adjacent non-atelectasis lungs; (2) hypoxemia: SpO2 less than 92% with FiO2 0.21 or SpO2...
Radiological images, including chest X-rays and CT scans, were evaluated for the presence of the following features: lung opacities that could be ground-glass opacities and/or consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax, linear atelectasis, reticulation, distribution within the lung (peripheral, ...
Demographic data, details related to pneumothorax, drain-related parameters, and outcome and efficacy parameters were compared among these two intervention methods. Results: At our institution, the incidence of symptomatic pneumothorax was 0.3% among live-born infants (142 neonates out of 46,585 live...

While an emergent chest X-ray is being arranged, a bedside sonogram can help diagnose a pneumothorax. Under normal circumstances, in the absence of a pneumothorax or a large pleural effusion, the lung and the chest wall interface can be well visualized on a sonogram. This interface is unique...
Radiological images, including chest X-rays and CT scans, were evaluated for the presence of the following features: lung opacities that could be ground-glass opacities and/or consolidation, pleural effusion or pneumothorax, linear atelectasis, reticulation, distribution within the lung (peripheral, ...
Pneumothorax Vasovagal syncope Prognosis Shock and right ventricular dysfunction confer a poor prognosis and predict mortality in patients diagnosed with PE.[63]Patients with PE and a coexisting DVT are also at an increased risk for death. While earlier reports reported a high rate of mortality follo...
