A

Vesicular

22
Q

Normal breath sound in adults

A

bronchovesicular

23
Q

Non musical, discontinuous lung sounds, requires the presence of lung fluid interface or during sudden opening and closing of airways

A

Rales or crackles

24

have musical and non musical qualities, produced by fluid films and airway wall vibration in larger airways , problem in the middle RT

A

Rhonchi

25
Q

Wet lung/ chest cold, gurgly chest or chest congestion, audible to the naked ear

A

HALAK

26
Q

Due to mechanical stretching of the pleura, occur during inspiration and expiration

A

Pleural Rub

27
Q

More or less musical sound that is produced by oscillations of critically narrowed extrathoracic airways during inspiration

A

Stridor

-Upper airway obstruction (Laryngeal)

28
Q

High pitched usually hear during inspiration (glottic or supraglottic obstruction) can also occur during expiration (infraglottic)

A

Stridor

29
Q

An expiratory sound usually low pitched and with musical qualities. Breathing through closed vocal cords to produce PEEP

A

Grunting

-signifies collapse lung

30
Q

musical continuous sounds that originate from oscillations in the narrowed peripheral airways. Sound produced is proximal to the lung tissue
