Aortic Dissection
Classic signs/sx insenstitive: ~ 50% w/o HTN, ~15% w/ pulse deficit, 20% w/ normal CXR

Keys to make dx:
High risk features: family hx sudden death, connective tissue disorders
History: sudden/max/severe onset of pain

Dental assistant attempted suicide by injecting mercury intravenously, subsequent CXR is morbidly magnificent.

Me [ordering a CBC, BMP, LFTs, CRP, ESR, ANA, pro calcitonin, CXR, EKG, CT-PE, d-dimer, lipase, BCx, UA]: when it comes down to it, 90% of diagnosis is taking a thorough history.

Oh. I think it's in the panel at the Emergency Room.

CBC, chem panel, LFTs, troponin, amylase and lipase, CRP and ESR. Sperm count. Lipids. Vitamin D.

CXR. CT head. UA/Utox.

Oh wait. Better get a D-Dimer and BNP. Maybe coags.

Clinical experience

I'm a Lung Dude from my Advanced Training

We frequently see residual changes on a CXR at 6-8 weeks after a pneumonia. It's sterile, but persistent inflammation, clearing slowly. Pathology 101, acute inflammation takes this long to heal

I wonder if I can pop into a patient's CXR my next shift to see if I have pneumonia

Infant after chest tube removal

CXR(left) shows chest tube in the hemithorax. CXR after chest tube removal(right) shows long fragment of chest tube remaining in left hemithorax

9/ NAAT-based algorithms required at least six rounds to reach the prevalence threshold, while CXR-only required three. The threshold was not reached within the time horizon under BAU. NAAT-only achieved a prevalence reduction consistent with the ACT3 trial after three rounds.
NOT YET PEER-REVIEWED

esp. for a CXR that often takes less than a minute from opening it to signing the report. if the prelim report is subpar and I have to read, move back-and-forth between image and text and redact it, it would probably slow me down, leading to not adopting the tool. the improvement must be substantial

Take-home message:
Postoperative cardiac surgery patients can suffer multiple catastrophic complications. POCUS findings can be very helpful but should not be over-read. In this case, even in the absence of lung sliding, the chances of tension PTX without significant CXR findings

This is a fairly common situation especially in the COVID era (please see the CXR from another patient that I saw a week later; yes, patient was intubated!), and...

would disagree. CXR can be useful to track out the size of an effusion over time - difficult to do with POCUS (especially if POCUS is being done by different operators over multiple days in different hospital units).

it’s not a competition. POCUS & CXR have synergistic strengths & weaknesses

Thanks! Is really interesting q that needs transmission modelling (multiple rounds with low/moderate coverage vs single high coverage round)

Now, ACF coverage (% of pop screened and linked) is often v low. ACT3 did well with a test for subclinical TB (Xpert 4 all) but 💵 💵 💵. CXR makes sense to me

School ager with osteomyelitis of the left lower extremity

CXR(above left) shows large, round lesion projecting to right of heart while lateral(above right) shows it to be located posteriorly in chest.
