A 43-year-old woman presented to the emergency room for a 3-day history of oppressive
chest pain and dyspnoea. Her past medical history was unremarkable. On admission, she
had a temperature of 37.7 C, blood pressure 120/80 mmHg, and heart rate 79 bpm Physical
exam revealed decreased breath sounds at lung bases with ronchi. Because of oxygen
desaturation (SpO2 89%), continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) was positioned.
