Question 40

Wheezing

Answer 40

This is the sound of wheezing when auscultating breath or lung sounds. It can be heard when there is an airway obstruction such as when you listen to a patient with mild to moderate asthma during an exacerbation. Wheeze is mainly expiratory and occurs during both phases..

Question 41

Fine Crackles

Answer 41

are high pitched sounds mostly heard in the lower lung bases. This can be abnormal findings on physical exam suggestive of things like congestive heart failure, pneumonia or pulmonary fibrosis.

Question 42

Coarse Crackles

Answer 42

are low pitched lungs sounds heard in pathologies such as chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, and severe pulmonary edema. Compared to fine crackles, they are often louder, longer in duration and lower in pitch.

Question 43

Squawks

Answer 43

short inspiratory wheezes (200 ms; 200 - 300 Hz) in late inspiration often preceded by late inspiratory crackles. Squawks are found in: pulmonary fibrosis, pneumonitis, pneumonia, allergic alveolitis and bronchiolitis obliterans. They are produced by the oscillations of peripheral airways in deflated lung zones opened in late inspiration.

Question 44

Pleural rub

Answer 44

is nonmusical, short,. biphasic (inspiro-expiratory) explosive sound (grating, rubbing, creaky, or leathery). It occurs due to inflamed pleural surface rubbing each other during breathing.

Question 45

Stridor

Answer 45

loud, high-pitched, mainly inspiratory,.musical sound produced by upper respiratory tract obstruction. It is different from wheezing: It is louder over the neck than chest wall. In expiration, it is biphasic. Stridor is caused by the turbulent flow passing through a narrowed segment of the upper respiratory tract.

Question 46

Crepitations

Answer 46

—fine —heart failure
–fibrosing alveolitis —coarse—bronchiectasis
–infections
