Q

Describe and demonstrate the surface marking and palpation of the trachea at the
suprasternal notch

A

?? put middle finger in the suprasternal notch and rest the index and ring finger the 2 clavicular heads and identify the deviation

40
Q

Demonstrate how you would investigate symmetrical inflation of the lung and describe
the anatomical basis.

A
  • Subject sits upright on a couch
    “would it be alright if I held myhands around your chest to check your breathing”
  • Hands on anterior chest wall just beneath 5th/6th ribs
  • Fingers extended round sides of chest
  • Thumbs meet anteriorly in MSL (mid-sternal line)
  • In females - below breast
  • Ask patient to take a deep breath - thumbs should move at least 5 cm
  • Repeat on posterior chest wall, thumbs meeting in posterior midline T10.
  • Anterior - shows upper and middle lobe expansion
  • Posterior - shows lower lobe expansion

“lungs are expanding symmetrically , as my thumbs moved apart equally in each each direction by about 2-3 cm”
Observe and describe the breathing pattern and the breathing rate.

(What is the normal breathing rate)
Measure rate of movement of anterior chest wall for 60 s

Without subject being aware eg pretend measuring pulse

Normal = 12-20 breaths per min

Rate - normal, rapid, slow

Depth - normal, shallow, deep

Rhythm - regular, irregular
