Portable Chest Radiograph

A portable chest radiograph frequently complements the clinical evaluation of a patient in the intensive care unit (ICU). Standard posteroanterior (PA) chest radiographs are obtained from a distance of 72 inches with the patient erect and facing the detector. The x-ray tube is behind the patient, and the beam passes from posterior to anterior. In the ICU, the PA radiograph is replaced by the portable anteroposterior radiograph, which is obtained from a 40-inch distance with the tube in front of the patient and the patient supine or semierect.

Different Populations

SUMMARY There is a new global pandemic that emerged in China in 2019 that is threatening different populations with severe acute respiratory failure. The disease has enormous potential for transmissibility and requires drastic governmental measures, guided by social distancing and the use of protective devices (gloves, masks, and facial shields). Once the need for admission to the ICU is characterized, a set of essentially supportive therapies are adopted in order to offer multi-organic support and allow time for healing. Typically, patients who require ventilatory support have bilateral infiltrates in the chest X-ray and chest computed tomography showing ground-glass pulmonary opacities and subsegmental consolidations. Invasive ventilatory support should not be postponed in a scenario of intense ventilatory distress. The treatment is, in essence, supportive.

The accumulation of extrapulmonary air is a well-known complication of airway endoscopic procedures. However, pulmonic disease alone can predispose toward pneumomediastinum and pneumothorax, without iatrogenic manipulation. In this case, a portable chest radiograph diagnosed the cause of the sudden accumulation of extrapulmonary air after rigid bronchoscopy as alveolar rupture, rather than iatrogenic airway perforation. The pathophysiology of pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum and the interpretation of chest radiographs in these situations is reviewed.
