Delayed complications to foreign body aspiration include bronchial stenosis, recurrent pneumonia, pneumothorax, recurrent hemoptysis, and chronic lung disease.102 Evaluation In a case of suspected acute asphyxiation of a foreign body, imaging should not delay intervention, but imaging is indicated in ...
(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
RESULTS. The visibility of a pneumothorax (p < 0.01), vascular catheters (p < 0.001), the minor fissure (p < 0.001), and the anterior segmental bronchus of the right upper lobe (p < 0.001) improved significantly after applying edge enhancement to soft copies of neonatal chest radiographs,...

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, ...
[10]. EBUS-transbronchial needle biopsy (TBNAB) can be easily performed with sedation and jet ventilation [11]. EBUS-TBNA has very few complications related to any endoscopy such as: mild adenitis, pneumothorax and mild hemoptysis [12]. We present four cases where medical history correlates ...
(the thickening of the interlobular septum and the inner line of the lobules were superimposed on the GGO), pleural effusion, pneumothorax, and pleural hyperplasia thickening could be observed. The CT semiquantitative scoring method was used to assess the severity of the lesions [11]: the lungs...
initial management includes supplemental oxygen and the use of the patient’s own inhaled bronchodilator, such as albuterol. The in-flight medical emergency kit stethoscope can assist in evaluating for decreased breath sounds, which may indicate pneumothorax. If pneumothorax is suspected, needle decompres...
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...
