CHEST RADIOGRAPH
FINAL REPORT

INDICATION: Intubation, evaluation for endotracheal tube location.

COMPARISON: ___.

FINDINGS:
Unchanged moderate cardiomegaly with retrocardiac atelectasis and a small left pleural effusion.
The nasogastric tube and the right subclavian line are unchanged.
As compared to the previous radiograph, the patient has been intubated.
New bilateral apical opacities that could reflect pneumonia or atypically distributed pulmonary edema.
In retrospect, a small part of the opacity was already present on the previous image, notably in the left upper lobe.
The tip of the endotracheal tube projects 4 cm above the carina.
