thoracic excursion in healthy adults measured at base of lungs from full inspiration to end tidal volume expiration is ___ inches
2-3
Thoracic excursion in healthy adults, measured at the base of the lungs from full inspiration to full expiration is ___ inches
2-3
Soft rustling sound heard throughout all inspiration and beginning of expiration
Vesicular (normal breath sound)
More hollow, echoing sound normally found only over R superior anterior thorax. Heard for all of inspiration, most of expiration
What does this sound correspond to?
Bronchial
Corresponds to area over R main stem bronchus
Very distant sound not normally heard over healthy thorax; allows only some of the inspiration to be heard.
What is this often associated with?
Distant
OBSTRUCTIVE lung disease
What are the adventitious sounds?
Crackles (rales/crepitations)
Wheezes
Crackling sound heard usually during inspiration that indicates pathology.
What is it and what pathologies?
Crackles
Atelectasis, fibrosis, pulmonary edema
Musically pitched sound, usually heard on expiration called by airway obstruction. May also be heard on inspiration with severe airway constriction, such as croup
