I’m not a doctor nor even a med student and I’ve learned to read chest X-rays. I e taken a keen interest after I was diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Hystiocytosis. It sucked that they were my own X-rays but I’m still fascinated. Keep learning everybody!
Great video! Gives me a good strategy on how to examine x-rays. Maybe you mentioned it as part of the examination strategy and it skipped my attention, but what helped me identify the pneumothorax in each of your cases was looking at the (slight) tracheal deviation which gives away which side the pneu is and where to look.
I swear my face is almost touching the screen trying to see the pleural line- def not going to be a radiologist :p thank you for the video with examples and good explanations!
As a layman with a pleural drain, having been through a thoracentesis and a couple drains I watched this with a need to understand what's going on. Don't quite have the eye for reading an x-ray but I'm willing to learn! Thanks for the detail.
