PORTABLE CHEST OF ___
 
COMPARISON: Radiograph of one day earlier.
 
FINDINGS: Heart size is enlarged but stable. Interval removal of endotracheal tube. Apparent interval increase in size of small right and moderate left pleural effusions, with adjacent persistent left lower lobe and improving right lower lobe lung opacities which may reflect atelectasis, and less likely aspiration or infectious pneumonia. Central venous catheter and nasogastric tube remain in place, with the nasogastric tube residing within a known hiatal hernia.
