[/accordion] [accordion title=”Answer” id=”acc-5″] This case shows how you can plot the size of a pneumothorax, but also that the m-mode for PNTX can be somewhat indistinct around the transition zone (Note the classic loss of sliding in R1 but the transition to normality from R2 to R3). Conversely, lung scanning is very sensitive for lung contusion (strongly confluent B-lines from R3-R6). [/accordion] [accordion title=”Further Resources” id=”acc-6″]
