6.2 Respiratory sounds of the healthy animals, abnormal respiratory sounds Flashcards
Which side do you auscultate on?
left side
Explain: Normal (physiological) respiratory sound
Soft, blowing sound
Stronger in carnivores,
sometimes bronchial like
Explain : Bronchial sound
laryngotracheobronchial
Strong, audible
blowing sound
H sound during insp/exp ‘‘hhhhhhhhh’’
Explain: Bronchial like
(tracheobronchial) sound
Deeper, softer,
harsher than the bronchial sound like F and H together ‘‘FHHHHHHF’’
Where can you hear the normal bronchial respiratory sound?
can be heard above the larynx and trachea under physiological
conditions
How is the bronchial respiratory sound produced?
produced by a stenotic effect of the relatively solid (cartilagineous) airway of the larynx, trachea
Why does the bronchial respiratory sound develop?
it is due to vortex formation of the inhaled air within the gradually narrowing passages of the upper respiratory tract.
Where is the bronchial respiratory sound best heard?
Over the anterior part of the respiratory area where the larger bronchi are relatively near to the surface of the body (large bronchial area)
describe the bronchial like respiratory sound
- in between the normal and bronchial sound
- quieter, deeper, rougher than bronchial
- can be normal during inhalation in cow, dog, cat, swine
- always nomal during expiration
when can we hear abnormal bronchial sound
- always during exhalation
- during rapid respiration above narrow upper airway
- when peribronchal lung tissue contains less air
what can cause abnormal bronchial sound
stiffer bronchial wall or inflitration around the bronchial wall
what causes abnormal bronchial sound during rapid respiration
the turbulence is so intensified that the borders of turbulence are extended, can be heard more caudally
What causes abnormal bronchial sound when eribronchal tissue contains less air
- bronchitis/ pneumonia/ pulmonary neoplasia
- pneumothorax
where can we hear the abnormal bronchial sounds when peribronchal tissue contain less air
- over air containing cavities
- dorsal to the pleural fluid level
list the adventitious respiratory sounds heard only in pathological cases (ronchi)
- moist / wet ronchi - non musical ronchi
- crepitation ( coarse crackles)
- crackling
- rattling sound (fine crackling)
- dry ronchi - musical ronchi
- whistling
- wheezing
describe non musical bronchi
sudden arising and stopping sounds
describe musical ronchi
continous sounds
describe whistling
high musical sound
HUIH sound
describe wheezing
low musical sound
BUUUUU sound
what are the similar sounds to:
crepitation
crackling
rettling
- hair rubbing
- burning wood
- sucking coke with a straw
what causes crepitation and crackling
bronchioli opening and closing
bronchopneumonia
