The traps that quietly cost points
These are the point-loss patterns iHuman never tells you about. We map every one for this case.
⚠
Tension pneumothorax: tracheal deviation + hypotension + absent breath sounds = needle decompression STAT
⚠
Upright chest X-ray: visceral pleural line with absent lung markings peripherally
⚠
Small (< 2 cm apex-to-cupola) primary spontaneous: observation with O2 supplementation
⚠
Large or symptomatic: chest tube (tube thoracostomy) for drainage
⚠
Risk factors: tall thin males, smoking, COPD, Marfan syndrome, trauma
