Overview
The chest x ray will show pulmonary edema, pulmonary vascular redistribution, enlarged hila, kerley's B lines, and bilateral pleural effusions in patients with left ventricular failure. In contrast, a pneumonia may be present in the patient with septic shock.
Chest X-ray
- The heart may be enlarged (cardiomegaly) in the patient with tamponade. A widened mediastinum may be present in the patient with aortic dissection.
- The chest x ray may also be useful in excluding a tension pneumothorax that may be associated with hypotension.
