FINAL REPORT
 SINGLE FRONTAL VIEW OF THE CHEST
 
 REASON FOR EXAM: Respiratory failure and intubated.
 
 Comparison is made with prior study performed a day earlier.
 
 Mild pulmonary edema is stable. ET tube is in the standard position. Right lower lobe opacity has increased, combination of pleural effusion and adjacent atelectasis. Bilateral perihilar opacities larger on the right side have minimally increased on the right side, which could represent atelectasis, superimposed infection cannot be excluded. Persistent opacities in the left lower lobe suggest left lower lobe collapse. NG tube tip is out of view below the diaphragm. Right PICC tip is in the right atrium, can be withdrawal approximately 3 cm for more standard position.
