The radiograph at 0605 hours shows status post cervical spine fixation without change. The endotracheal tube has been removed since the last examination. There is a left subclavian central line in place, unchanged. Low lung volumes are noted with left lower lobe opacity, which could represent atelectasis, consolidation, or aspiration. There is a possibility of worsened pulmonary edema. A right lower lung opacity is also observed.
