Hyporesonance | tapping air increases fluid &solids decreasesFactorsPleural effusion, pulmonary edema, atelectasis,consolidations, pneumonectomy, pneumonia, pleural thickening. |
Hyperesonance | tapping air increases fluid & solids decreasesfactors: Pneumothorax, COPD, Emphysema, Asthma |
Decrease Tactile Fremitis/ | Touching/ Feeling Air + Fluid decreases, solids increaseFactors: Pleural effusions, pneumothorax, COPD, Emphysema, Pulmonary edema,pneumonectomy, Pleural thickening, Asthma |
Increase Tactile Fremitis | Touching/ FeelingAir+fluid decreasesSolids increaseFactors: Atelectasis, Pneumonia, Consolidations |
Decrease Vocal Fremtis | Air+Fluid decrease solid increaseFactors: Pleural Thickening, Pulmonary edema, Pneumothorax, COPD,Emphysema, Asthma, Pleural effusion, pneumonectomy |
Increase Vocal Fremitis | Air+Fluid decrease solid increaseFactors: Consolidations, Pneumonia,Atelectasis |
Vocal Fremitis | refers to the vibration created by the vocal cords during speech |
tactile fremtis | pt. state ninety nine, increase vibration, consolidation |
Hyperresonance | loud low pitched long duration produced over area where is more air less tissue |
Hyporesonance | Dullnes- medium intensity and pitched of short duration more tissue than airFlat- low amplitude and pitch over areas of more tissue than air |
