FINAL REPORT
 PORTABLE AP CHEST FILM, ___ AT 5:14
 
 CLINICAL INDICATION: ___-year-old with pneumothorax, assess for interval
 change.
 
 Comparison to prior study dated ___ at 9:10.
 
 Portable semi-erect chest film, ___ at 5:14 is submitted.
 
 IMPRESSION:
 
 There is a small but stable left apical lateral pneumothorax. No evidence of pulmonary edema. A tracheostomy tube remains in place. There is also persistent patchy opacity at the left base which may reflect atelectasis, although an acute infectious process cannot be excluded. Right subclavian central line has its tip in the mid-to-distal SVC unchanged. Blunting of the left costophrenic angle may represent pleural thickening versus a small effusion. Overall cardiac and mediastinal contours are likely stable given differences in patient rotation between studies. Basilar chest tube remains in position.
