What Does Swooshing Sound In Upper Lung After Bone Marrow Mean?
my daughter had a bone marrow done recently and she also has muscular dystrophy. i think when they put her under,they might have damaged her lung/bronchial area. I was checking her lungs when she got home and the right side of her chest/lungs were clear. when i got to the left side, bottom lobe was clear, but the upper lobe had a swooshing sound at times. What does this mean? please help

So possibility of pneumothorax or internal damage can be theAnd the sound you are decribing is seen in pneumpneumothorax. So better to get done chest x ray first to rule out pneumothorax. If this is normal than no need to worry.
