🗑
What will you here on percussion over an air filled strucutre vs fluid or tissue filled cavitiy   air will be resonant fluid or tissue = dull  
🗑
if you have dullness on percussion of the lung what may be possible causes   may be pleural effusion, pneumonia  
🗑
What may cuase hyperresonance on lung percussion   lung distention, asthma, emphysema, bullous disease or pneumothorax  
🗑
what are breath sounds a good measure of in lung function   intensity of breath sounds is good index of ventilation of underlying lung  
🗑
What will happen to breath sounds in emphysema   they will be markedly reduced  
🗑
if you have asymmetry in breath sound intensity which side is abnormal   the one with decreased intensity  
🗑
If your breath sounds are harsh or increased what does this indicate   indicates more ventilation and intensity increase  
🗑
where are the places you should hear bronchial breath sounds   trachea, right clavicle or right inter scapular space. if you hear it anywhere else it is abnormal  
🗑
What happens to breath sounds in consolidation   low pitched tubular type of bronchial breathing is heard in the lungs  
🗑
what type of breath sounds will you hear in cavitary disease   high pitched, hollow sounds called cavernous breathing  
🗑
What are ronchi   long continious adventitious sounds created from obstruction to airways  
🗑
what would diffuse ronchi possibly indicate   suggest generalized airway obstruction like asthma or COPD  
🗑
How are vesicular breath sounds defined   inspiratory > expiratory , soft, low sound  
🗑
HOw is broncho-vesiuclar breath sound defined   inspiratory=expiratory best heard between scapula 1st and 2nd interspaces intermediate  
🗑
how are bronchial breath sounds defined   expiratoyr > inspiratory best heard over manubrium loud and high sound  
🗑
how is tracheal breath sound defined   expiratory = inspiratory very loud, high over trachea and neck  
🗑
Where should you hear vesicular sounds   most of the lungs  
🗑
where should you hear bronchovesicular   1st and 2nd interspaces, between scapulae,  
🗑
where should you hear bronchial sounds   manubrium  
🗑
where should you hear tracheal sounds   trachea  
🗑
If you have absent of decreased breath sounds what disease should come to mind   ARDS Asthma actelectasis pneumothorax

🗑
If the wheeze is only heard on inspiration and is associated with mechanical obstruction of upper airway at tracheal level what is it called   stridor  
🗑
What causes fine crackles heard at the end on inspiration   sound is from when collapsed alveoli pop open can be from depleted surfactant  
🗑

🗑
if you have absent or decreased tactile fremitus what may that indicate   Bronchial obstruction COPD pneumothorax tumor pleural effusion

🗑
this occurs when normally air filled lung parenchyma becomes engorged with fluid or tissue most commonly in pneumonia   consolidation  
🗑
what happens to tactile fremitus in consolidation   becomes more pronounced  
🗑
if you have fluid collecting in potential space that exists between the lung and chest wall that displaces the lung upwards what is this called   pleural effusion  
🗑
what will happen to fremitus over an effusion   it will be decreased  
🗑
Exaggerated vocal resonance  heard over a bronchus that is surrounded by consolidated lung tissue   Bronchophony  
🗑
Increased quality/ loudness of whispers. Heard with stethoscope over areas of consolidation   whispering pectoroliquy

EEE to AAA changes while listening with stethoscope   egophony  
🗑
if you have increased fremitus, dullness to percussion, bronchial breath sounds, crackels and transmitted breath sounds what disease state is likely present   pneumonia  
🗑
Fremitus is absent dullness to percussion absent breath sounds may have bronchial BS or friction rub near top of effusion   pleural effusion

absent fremtius dull sounds over affected lung decreased breath sounds over affected lung trachea may be deviated toward affected side   atelectasis

Increased A-P diameter Decreased fremitus Diffuse Hyperresonance Decreased breath sounds Wheezes, rhonchi, prolonged expiratory time   COPD emphysema  
🗑
Decreased fremitus Hyperresonance to percussion Decreased/absent breath sounds Possible friction rub or tracheal deviation   Pneumothorax  
🗑
Review all the x-rays   review all the x-rays
