Q

On physical exam of a patient you find chest wall movement is reduced over the affected area, vocal fremitus is absent (or markedly decreased), percussion note is dull, bronchial breath at the upper border on auscultation, and increased egophany at the upper border. On chest xray you find the heart is displaced to the opposite side. What pulmonary disorder is the most likely diagnosis?

A

Pleural effusion

59
Q

A

Bronchospasm

63
Q

On physical exam you find chest wall movements to be decreased symmetrically, normal or increased vocal fremitus, normal percussion note, auscultation results in bronchovesicular breath sounds, and end-inspiratory crackles that are unaffected by cough or posture, and normal voice sounds.
