Overview
Major points and Recommendations for Chest X Ray of adults with hospital-acquired, ventilator-associated, and healthcare-associated pneumonia (DO NOT EDIT) [1]
All patients should have a chest radiograph, preferably posteroanterior and lateral if not intubated, as portable chest radiographs have limited accuracy. The radiograph can help to define the severity of pneumonia (multilobar or not) and the presence of complications, such as effusions or cavitation (Level II) }} For Level of evidence and classes click here.
