Assessment by Ausculation

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Assessment By Auscultation Normal Breath Sounds: Vesicular   normal breath sounds = vesicular  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Normal Breath Sounds: Bilateral Vesicular   normal sounds in both lungs  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Normal Breath Sounds: Bronchial   normal sounds heard over the trachea or bronchi. the sounds heard over lung periphery = lung consolidation  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Changes   changes in the breath sounds will identify where the problem is.  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Egophony   patient is told to say "E" sounds like "A" = Pneumonia = lung consolidation  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Bronchophony/Whispered Pectoriloquy   increased intensity of spoke voice = pneumonia and consolidation  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Increased/Decreased   any increase in the spoken voice indicates pneumonia any decrease obstructed bronchi pneumothorax, emphysema  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Abnormal Breath Sounds/Adventitious/Rales   rales/ crackles = secretion/ fluid coarse rales (rhonchi) = large airway secretions Tx: patient needs suctioning  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Abnormal Breath Sounds/Adventitious/ Medium Rales   medium rales = middle airway secretions Tx: patient need chest physical therapy  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Abnormal Breath Sounds/Adventitious/ Fine Rales   fine rales = (moist crepitant rales) = alveoli, fluid patient has CHF/ pulmonary edema Tx: IPPB, heart drugs, diuretics, and oxygen  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Abnormal Breath Sounds/Adventitious/ Wheeze   due to bronchospasm Tx: bronchodilator unilateral wheeze = foreign body obstruction Tx: bronchoscope  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Abnormal Breath Sounds/Adventitious/ Stridor   due to upper airway obstruction supraglottic = (epiglottis) subglottic = (croup, post extubation) foreign body aspiration (solids or fluids)  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Abnormal Breath Sounds/Adventitious/ Stridor Treatment   topical decongestant (racemic epinephrine) for swelling/edema suction/bronchoscope for secretions/foreign body intubate for SEVERE swelling and epiglottis  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Abnormal Breath Sounds/Adventitious/ Pleural Friction Rub   coarse or crunching sound caused by inflamed surface of visceral & parietal rubbing Association: TB, pneumonia, pulmonary infarction, cancer Tx: steroids and antibiotics  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Heart Sounds/Normal/S1   sounds made by the closure of the heart valves first sound S1= mitral and tricuspid valve at beginning of ventricular contraction  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Heart Sounds/Normal/S2   second sound S2 occurs when systole ends. the ventricles relax the pulmonic and aortic valves close.  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Heart Sounds/Abnormal/S3   if you hear S3 in adults = abnormal = suggest CHF = myocardial infarction or cardiomegaly  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Heart Sounds/Abnormal/S3 &S4   are low pitched may be difficult to discriminate  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Heart Sounds/Abnormal/Heart Murmurs   caused by turbulent blood flow. heart valve defect  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Heart Sounds/Abnormal/Heart Murmurs Occurs   murmurs occur when blood is pushed through an abnormal opening such as an atrial septal defect. or patent ductus arteriosus.  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Heart Sounds/Abnormal/Heart Bruits   are the sounds made in an artery or vein that moves at an abnormal speed. heard over stethoscope over the identified vessel carotid  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Blood Pressure measured   measure the systolic and diastolic pressures.  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Blood Pressure   use a sphygmomanometer to measure cuff pressure.  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Blood Pressure/Normal   Adult: 120/80 acceptable: 90/60 to 140/90  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Blood Pressure/Increased   hypertension = indicates stress = hypoxemia  
🗑
Assessment By Auscultation Blood Pressure/Decreased   hypotension = indicates poor perfusion = hypovolemia, CHF  
🗑
