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...
Other imaging features found on chest CT images of COVID-19 patients were air bronchogram signs (52.4%), atelectasis (42.9%), and subpleural lines (33.3%). Pleural effusion, pneumothorax, pulmonary nodules, and pulmonary embolism were found in a small number of patients (Table 3). Mediastinal...
X-ray, with at least 2 of the 3 criteria: (i) blood leukocytosis ≥12×109/L or <4×109/L, (ii) temperature >38.5°C or <36°C, (iii) increased secretion with purulent sputum; (5) pneumothorax: displacement of air and mediastinum in pleural cavity (chest X-ray examination for ...
(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...
What Is the Diagnosis? A.Hemopneumothorax B.Hiatal hernia C.Diaphragmatic rupture D.Pulmonary contusion.
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...
Tension pneumothorax often leads to he- modynamic stability and, if un- treated, death.Further, this simple part of the physical examination is seldom performed today, and that simple examination, in conditions like a large pneumothorax, can lead more rapidly to the diagnosis and proper treatment...
On admission the patient had a right-sided pneumothorax on chest X-ray (Figure 1). Unusual Malposition of a Chest Tube, Intrathoracic but Extrapleural We report a case of spontaneous PPC, pneumothorax, and subcutaneous emphysema in a nonventilated term infant. Neonatal Pneumopericardium in a Non...
Artificial pneumothorax and other types of collapse therapy, widely used before antibacterial agents were known, are occasionally used. When the patient cannot be cured by antituberculotics and other agents, the affected parts of the lungs are removed surgically. Surgery is also performed for ...
