Overview
The CXR graphic responds to modeled filling-pressure/congestion changes and follows the respiratory cycle. Increasing congestion produces a progressively hazier lung appearance.
The acute severe MR example emphasizes the right lung while retaining some left-lung edema. IABP selection also adds a device-position cue. These are illustrative patterns, not a diagnostic radiograph.
Show or hide Chest X-ray in Traces. Compare it with wedge pressure, oxygenation and the pleth, while recognizing that a real radiograph is not determined by a single pressure number.
