Question | Answer |
---|---|
Consolidation | --- air entry locally (secondary to infection) --- chest wall movement locally Dullness to percussion Bronchial breathing/ +++ breath sounds Coarse/fine crackles locally +++ vocal resonance |
Collapse | Blockage of a major airway with collapse of the distal lung segment Mediastinal shift towards the abnormality --- chest wall movement locally Dullness to percussion restricted to affected lobe --- breath sounds --- vocal resonance |
Pleural effusion | Collection of fluid between the 2 pleural layers Mediastinal shift away from the lesion (large effusion) --- chest wall movement locally “Stony” dull to percussion --- breath sounds bronchial breathing at upper border --- vocal resonance Pleural ru |
Pneumothorax | Air in the pleural space Mediastinal shift away from the lesion (tension pneumothorax) --- chest wall movement locally Hyperresonant to percussion --- breath sounds --- vocal resonance |
Interstitial fibrosis | No mediastinal shift trachea may move towards the fibrosis if in upper lobe Normal/--- chest wall movement Normal percussion note Normal breath sounds/vocal resonance Fine crackles present |
