Chest radiograph postintubation showed diffuse bilateral infiltrates (Figure 1(a)), and pink frothy sputum was seen collecting in the endotracheal tube (ETT). Postintubation chest radiograph showed increased bilateral airspace opacities (Figure 1(c)), similar in appearance to his prior admission. Repeat chest radiograph the day after admission showed rapid resolution of bilateral opacities (Figure 1(d)).
