    The sign is an imaging finding using a 3.5–7.5 MHz ultrasound probe in the fourth and fifth intercostal spaces in the anterior clavicular line using the M-Mode of the machine. This finding is seen in the M-mode tracing as pleura and lung being indistinguishable as linear hyperechogenic lines and is fairly reliable for diagnosis of a pneumothorax.

  3. Pneumothorax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumothorax

    Tension pneumothorax – the presence of which may be suspected due to rapidly deteriorating heart function, absent lung sounds throughout the thorax, and a barrel-shaped chest – is treated with an incision in the animal's chest to relieve the pressure, followed by insertion of a chest tube. [66]

  4. Medical ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_ultrasound

    Lung ultrasound has been found to be useful in diagnosing common neonatal respiratory diseases such as transient tachypnea of the newborn, respiratory distress syndrome, congenital pneumonia, meconium aspiration syndrome, and pneumothorax. [26] A neonatal lung ultrasound score, first described by Brat et al., has been found to highly correlate ...

  5. Emergency ultrasound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_ultrasound

    Similarly, emergency ultrasound can also evaluate the lungs for hemothorax (bleeding in the chest), and pneumothorax (a puncture resulting in air trapped in the chest and lung collapse). People presenting with hypotension of unknown cause, ultrasound has been utilized to determine the cause of shock.

  6. Coin test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coin_test

    A coin test (or a bell metal resonance) is a medical diagnostic test used to test for a punctured lung. A punctured lung can cause air or fluid to leak into the pleural cavity, leading to, for example, pneumothorax or hydrothorax. In a coin test, a coin held against the chest is tapped by another coin on the side where the puncture is suspected.

  7. Mediastinal shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediastinal_shift

    Tension pneumothorax is an emergent condition in which air gets trapped in the space between the chest wall and the lung. This space is referred to as the pleural space. Because air can't escape from this space, the air pocket grows larger and larger, resulting in the lung collapse closest to the pneumothorax.

  8. Obstructive shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obstructive_shock

    A chest X-ray can rapidly identify a pneumothorax, seen as absence of lung markings. Ultrasound can show the lack of lung sliding. However, imaging should not delay treatment. [8] CT angiography is the standard of diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. Clots appear in the vasculature as filling defects. [18]

  9. Hemopneumothorax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemopneumothorax

    Hemopneumothorax, or haemopneumothorax, is the condition of having both air (pneumothorax) and blood in the chest cavity. A hemothorax, pneumothorax, or the combination of both can occur due to an injury to the lung or chest. [1]
