Shadow Health Respiratory Concept Lab
Detail normal air passage when a patient breathes. Answer- air rushes through nasal passages and trachea, bronchi , & into lungs where it's absorbed by the alveoli
What happens during auscultation? Answer- Healthcare professional listen to the heart sounds through a stethoscope
What are bronchial sounds and how are these sounds detected? Answer- Harsh, high-
pitched, & loud sound that can be heard
above the manubrium (over the trachea).
What are bronchovesicular sounds and how are these sounds detected? Answer- Medium in loudness & pitch sounds that can be heard over the main bronchi
What are vesicular sounds and how are these sounds detected? Answer- The softest and lowest in pitch sounds that are heard over the lower bronchi, bronchioles, and lobes
Lungs Lobes Answer- Where are vesicular sounds normally heard? Answer- peripheral lung tissue
Decreased breath sounds Answer- occur in airway disease or obstruction, diaphragm paralysis, or impairment of sound transmission through the chest wall
worsening symptoms may lead to absent breath sounds. Absent lung sounds usually indicate that no air is moving in the lung tissue.
Increased breath sounds Answer- a "normal sound" is not normal if it is in the wrong place
location of breath sounds matters!!
What is so important about increased breath sounds? Answer- It may detail that the location of breath sounds is off. For instance, a common finding is, if bronchial or bronchovesicular sounds (i.e lounder and harsher) are in peripheral lung tissue (where vesicular sounds usually are) this is due to underlying lung tissues fill with liquid or solid material instead of air.
What are adventitious sounds? Answer- abnormal sounds present in addition to the normal lungs sounds
What are [fine] crackles? Answer- High-pitched crackling sounds that occur when inhaled air meets DEFLATED alveoli, causing them to pop open
