I completed 2️⃣ Control Variables!
Notice that what it seems to be a right pneumothorax is actually bullae on the CT scan. Let pneumothorax is under pressure and chest tube was inserted!

However, on the CT scan taken post chest tube insertion, it seems that the tube is introduced into the lung!

Successful placement of a carotid artery central line going through the internal jugular vein!

Why CT was done?what is the case scenario? I guess there was a suspicion upon insertion whether the placement was in the artery or in a vein, propably due to red color gushing pulsating blood, Blood gas sample taken from this line could solve the issue!
