I'm supposed to go in for surgery on Wednesday under general anesthesia, but my chest X-ray showed prominent bronchiovascular markings on both lung fields. Should I be worried about this?
Prominent bronchiovascular markings on a chest X-ray typically suggest mild changes in the lungs, possibly due to chronic conditions like bronchitis or mild inflammation. However, this finding is generally not a major concern for surgery under general anesthesia. Its important to inform your surgical team about your chest X-ray results, but with proper evaluation and monitoring, you should be able to proceed safely with the surgery.
