Basic Chest X-Ray Interpretation
![Page 2: Basic Chest X-Ray Interpretation. Different tissues in our body absorb X-rays at different extents: –Bone- high absorption (white) –Tissue- somewhere.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ea07/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Different tissues in our body absorb X-rays at different extents:
– Bone- high absorption (white)
– Tissue- somewhere in the middle absorption (grey)
– Air- low absorption (black)

TECHNIQUE, cont.
– Projection or Quality of the film:
• First determine is the film a PA or AP view.
• PA- the x-rays penetrate through the back of the patient on to the film.
• AP-the x-rays penetrate through the front of the patient on to the film.
The width of heart & mediastinum larger on AP film.
• All x-rays in the ICU are portable and are AP view

Systematic CXR Interpretation• TECHNIQUE, cont.
– Penetration• Over-penetrated dark films can
obscure subtle pathologies.
• Under-penetrated white films may given impression of diffuse increased density.
![Page 13: Basic Chest X-Ray Interpretation. Different tissues in our body absorb X-rays at different extents: –Bone- high absorption (white) –Tissue- somewhere.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ea07/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Is the film over or under penetrated?
• If under penetrated you will not be able to see the thoracic vertebrae.

• TECHNIQUE, cont.
― Adequacy (full Inspiration)• Normal, erect, inspiratory CXR shows
9.5-10.5 posterior ribs.• Less inspiration appears diffusely
denser• Diaphragms elevated causing heart &
mediastinum to appear enlarged.

ARTERIAL BLOOD GAS
![Page 32: Basic Chest X-Ray Interpretation. Different tissues in our body absorb X-rays at different extents: –Bone- high absorption (white) –Tissue- somewhere.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ea07/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Arterial Blood Gas
Definition
• Blood gases is a measurement of how much oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) is in your blood.
• It also determines the acidity (pH) of your blood.
![Page 33: Basic Chest X-Ray Interpretation. Different tissues in our body absorb X-rays at different extents: –Bone- high absorption (white) –Tissue- somewhere.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ea07/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Arterial Blood Gas
Why the Test is Performed ?
To evaluate respiratory diseases and conditions that affect the lungs.
It helps determine the effectiveness of oxygen therapy.
![Page 34: Basic Chest X-Ray Interpretation. Different tissues in our body absorb X-rays at different extents: –Bone- high absorption (white) –Tissue- somewhere.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ea07/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Arterial Blood Gas
How the Test is Performed?
Usually, blood is taken from an artery.
The blood may be collected from the radial artery in the wrist, the femoral artery in the groin, or the brachial artery in the arm.
May test circulation to the hand before taking a sample of blood from the wrist area.
Insert a small needle through the skin into the artery
(You can use (anesthesia) applied to the site before the test begins).
![Page 35: Basic Chest X-Ray Interpretation. Different tissues in our body absorb X-rays at different extents: –Bone- high absorption (white) –Tissue- somewhere.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032522/56649d6e5503460f94a4ea07/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
How the Test is Performed
In rare cases, blood from a vein may be used.
After the blood is taken, pressure is applied to the site for a few minutes to stop the bleeding.
Watch the site for signs of bleeding or circulation problems.
The sample must be quickly sent to a laboratory for analysis to ensure accurate results.

How to Prepare for the Test
There is no special preparation.
If you are on oxygen therapy, the oxygen concentration must remain constant for 20 minutes before the test.

How the Test Will Feel
You may feel brief cramping or throbbing at the puncture site

Risks
There is very little risk when the procedure is done correctly.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other.
Taking blood from some people may be more difficult than from others.

Other risks associated with this test may include:
Bleeding at the puncture site Blood flow problems at puncture site (rare) Bruising at the puncture site Delayed bleeding at the puncture site Fainting or feeling light-headed Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin) Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is
broken)
