🗑
Focal wheezing raises suspicion of   foreign body or other bronchial obstruction

🗑
The expectoration of blood that originates from below the vocal chords   hemoptysis  
🗑
Most cases of hemoptysis in the outpatient setting are due to   infection (bronchitis, pneumonia, tuberculosis)  
🗑
Flexible bronchoscopy is indicated for which patients   smokers, over the age of 40, greater than 1 week history of hemoptysis  
🗑
Characteristic findings in a patient with chronic obstruction of the upper airway   Inspiratory stridor, intercostal retractions on inspiration, palpable thrill over larynx, wheezing localized to the neck.  
🗑
Local parenchymal collapse   atelectasis  
🗑
the trachea bifurcates into the mainstem bronchi at which levels anteriorly and posteriorly   Sternal angle, T4 process  
🗑
the lower border of the lung lies at T __ level posteriorly   10  
🗑
the lower border of the lung lies at __th rib level in the midclavicular line.   6  
🗑
the lower border of the lung lies at __th rib level in the midaxillary line.   8  
🗑
sensation of tingling or "pins and needles" around lips or in the extremities sometimes brought on by shortness of breath   paresthesias  
🗑
Musical respiratory sounds that may be audible to the patient or others   wheezes  
🗑
A reflex response to stimuli that irritate receptors in the larynx, trachea, or large bronchi.   cough  
🗑
hemoptysis is seen most often in those with   cystic fibrosis  
🗑
Audible stridor is a sign of   airway obstruction in the larynx or trachea  
🗑
decreased fremitus can be caused by   obstructed bronchus, COPD, pleural effusion/fibrosis, pneumothorax, infiltrating tumor, very thick chest wall, soft voice.  
🗑
When it comes to percussion normal lungs are   resonant  
🗑
Dullness replaces resonance when   air is displaced by fluid or solid tissue  
🗑
These breath sounds are soft and low pitched. They are heard througout inspiration and continue without pause through expiration, and fade away 1/3 of the way through expiration   vesicular  
🗑
These lung sounds are about equal in length in regards to inspiration and expiration. There may be a silent interval inbetween   bronchovesicular  
🗑
These breath sounds are loud and higher in pitch, with a short silence between inspiration and expiration. Expiratory lasts longer than inspiratory   bronchial  
🗑
these sounds suggest secretions in large airways   rhonci  
🗑
Relatively low pitched with a snoring quality   rhonci  
🗑
relatively high pitched with a hissing or shrill quality   wheezing  
🗑
increased transmission of voice through chest wall suggests   air-filled lung has become airless  
🗑
Pain that is described as sharp or knife like is usually   plueral pain  
🗑
pectus carinatum   pidgeon chest  
🗑
pectus excavatum   funnel chest
