Pulmonary interstitial emphysema
Updates to Study Attributes
On the 20 hours radiograph, both lungs are normally inflated, and there is near complete resolution of the pulmonary interstitial emphysema. Bilateral patchy hazy opacification related to respiratory stress syndrome is again identified.

Two subsequent chest radiographs were taken approximately after 8 & 20 hours from the initial image and switching from conventional mechanical ventilation to high frequency jet ventilation.
On the 8 hours radiograph, there is interval placement of chest tube on the left side with nearly complete resolution of the pneumothorax. Diffuse branching radiolucencies now evident, after the re-expansion of the left lung, representing pulmonary interstitial emphysema, which is the underlying cause for the previously seen pneumothorax. In addition, the right lung is less expanded with dramatic decrease in the branching radiolucencies through the right lung. Bilateral patchy hazy opacification related to respiratory stress syndrome is also evident.

This is a case is a perfectclassic example to show pulmonary interstitial emphysema (PIE) complicated by pneumothorax. In addition, it demonstrates the dramatic improvement that can happen after switching from conventional mechanical ventilation to high-frequency ventilation as a treatment for PIE.
