Amputation is no longer evident

Removal of fluid allows normal expansion of the lungs

Explanation: the fluid located in the right lower prevents normal lung expansionto that area and decreases the transmission of vibration energy from that area, and the surrounding areasuffersfroma passiveatalectasisthat reflects as lower vibration intensity in that area.Note: this patient has no lung disease this allows for the lung to regain functionality easily post-drainage.
