Use of incentive spirometry in portable chest radiography.
PURPOSE The degree of lung inflation seen on a chest radiograph is dependent on the point during the patient's respiratory cycle at which the radiographer exposes the image receptor. Exposing the image receptor at the exact peak of inflation can be difficult because of the limited time available in which to capture the inspiratory pause. An incentive spirometer can indicate the moment of peak i...
متن کاملBilateral spontaneous pneumothorax--the case for prompt chest radiography.
Simultaneous bilateral spontaneous pneumo thorax is a rare condition occurring in up to 1.9% of cases of spontaneous pneumothorax. Risk factors include male sex, smoking, height and underlying lung conditions. An increase in the incidence is seen in AIDS patients with underlying pneumocystis carinii infection. In contrast with a large unilateral pneumothorax, simultaneous bilateral spontaneous ...
متن کاملCalculation of the Cardiothoracic Ratio from Portable Anteroposterior Chest Radiography
Cardiothoracic ratio (CTR), the ratio of cardiac diameter (CD) to thoracic diameter (TD), is a useful screening method to detect cardiomegaly, but is reliable only on posteroanterior chest radiography (chest PA). We performed this cross-sectional 3-phase study to establish reliable CTR from anteroposterior chest radiography (chest AP). First, CD(Chest PA)/CD(Chest AP) ratios were determined at ...
متن کاملCarestream’s companion-view processing for improved visualization of tubes, lines, and pneumothoraces in digital, portable chest radiography
Carestream has implemented companion views in its digital radiography systems. A companion view is designed to complement the standard processed radiographic image delivered from the digital radiography capture modality to PACS, to provide an additional rendering tailored for the visual interpretation needed for a specific diagnostic or clinical purpose. Two companion views are available in Car...
متن کاملOutpatient Treatment for Pneumothorax Using a Portable Small-Bore Chest Tube: A Clinical Report
BACKGROUND For treatment of pneumothorax in Korea, many institutions hospitalize the patient after chest tube insertion. In this study, a portable small-bore chest tube (Thoracic Egg; Sumitomo Bakelite Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) was used for pneumothorax management in an outpatient clinic. METHODS Between August 2014 and March 2015, 56 pneumothorax patients were treated using the Thoracic Egg. ...
