what runs along the inferior margin of each rib
neurovascular structures
where do we place needles (in according to ribs)
why?
SUPERIOR to rib margins bc neurovascular structures run along the inferior margin

obesity posterior malocclusion of jaw tx resistant HTN HF AFIB stroke DM2
bradypnea
under 14 with or w/o increase in tidal volume
tachypnea
over 20 and shallow
sighing respirations
breathing punctured by frequent signs– suggests hyperventillation syndrome
cheyne-stokes breathing
pds of deep breathing alternating with periods of apnea
ataxic breathing
irregular–perids of apnea, alternate with regular deep breaths which stop suddently for shot intervals
audible high pitched inspiratory whistling
stridor
stridor=

define decreased or absent fremitus
when the voice is higher pitched or soft or when transmission of vibrations from larynx to the surface of the chest is impeded by a thick chest wall, an obstructed bronchus …

unliteral plerual eff, pnuthox, neoplasm
**all decrease tranmissions of low freq sounds*
asymmetric increased fremitus caused BY?
unilateral pnm via increasing transmissions thru consolidations
