<num>. somewhat low lying endotracheal tube and generously inflated cuff. slight retraction of the tube and if feasible decreased distention of the balloon may be appropriate if clinically indicated. <num>. nasogastric tube terminating in the stomach, although if better purchase in the stomach is desired clinically then the tube could be advanced. <num>. left lower lung opacity, which is nonspecific but could be seen with atelectasis and perhaps pleural effusion although pneumonia or aspiration are difficult to completely exclude. short-term followup radiographs may be appropriate to reassess.
