Findings

There are chest tubes present bilaterally with a moderate volume of pleural gas and fluid. The lung lobes are not fully expanded after thoracocentesis and have a markedly rounded and thickened pleural surface. The cranial and caudal subsegments of the left cranial lung lobe are of soft tissue opacity with a small volume and rounded shape. The cardiac silhouette is obscured by the remaining pleural fluid. There is poor peritoneal detail in the portion of the abdomen included. An endotracheal tube is present, as well as an overlying catheter in the cervical region. Bandage material surrounds the thorax.
