A middle age patient has an emergency cholecystectomy without much complication for two hours after the operation. Nasal cannula then shows BP of 120/80, and respirations of 16/min and 85% oxygen saturation of 55 mmHg on 2L/min of oxygen. PE: dec. breath sounds on R, dec. excursion on inspiration bilaterally, min. dullness over the R base, mediastinal and cardiac silhouettes are shifted to the R; lung field: R<
