* Causes: AKD, CKD – glomerulonephritis – PLN

Nerve block for cheek tooth 208? Extraction?
N. Maxillaris
Non-musical adventitious resp sound
Non-musical rhonchi (crepitation, crackling or rattling sound)
* Sudden arising and stopping sounds
* These noises are generated at the beginning (larger bronchi >2mm) or end (smaller bronchi<2mm) of inspiration, sometimes continuing to the beginning of expiration. They occur in areas that are not adequately filled with respiratory gases but are infiltrated with fluid.
These sounds are caused by the abrupt opening of previously closed bronchi + vibration of the small bronchial wall
Early inspiratory or expiratory crepitation and crackling:
* obstruction of bronchi that are >2 mm in diameter (e.g. bronchopneumonia, COPD) Late inspiratory crepitation and crackling:
3
* compression of the bronchi <2 mm in diameter (pulmonary edema, interstitial pneumonia, neoplasms, pulmonary emphysema)
