This study was designed to determine the adequacy of chest radiograph interpretations by pediatric intensivists and the effects on patient care. The PI recorded their chest radiograph interpretations documenting support devices and thoracic abnormalities. Concordance and discordance were determined by the pediatric pulmonologist who was not involved in the care of the patient by comparing the interpretations of the PI and PR. Clinically significant discordance was defined as interpretations by the radiologist that differed to those from the PI that may have required therapeutic intervention. Results The evaluation of 291 chest radiographs demonstrated an overall concordance rate of 82.5 240 out of 291 P 0.05 . There was no significant difference in the ability of critical care medicine physicians to identify atelectasis infiltrates pleural effusions or airleaks P 0.05 . Support devices Were correctly identified in 100 of the cases. Discordant interpretations included 20 that were clinically significant 17 insignificant findings and 14 films .
