11. Reaction score. 0. Dec 19, 2006. #4. Breathsound are divided into Vesicular breath sounds (Normal) and Adventitious breath sounds (abnormal). Adventitious breath sounds are divided in Continuos lung sound (>80 ms) and Discontinuos lung sounds (<20 ms). Continuos lung sounds consist of Wheeze and Rhonchi.
Thank you. As far as I can tell, it seems that often when I hear gurgling or something that maybe sounds like rhonchi, it's the trach. Or maybe some other sounds I hear on patients is their ventilator. I just don't know. Like this morning, I felt like I was hearing something pretty gurgling or snoring-like. The patient was vented and trached.
General rules: 1) breath sounds decrease for all pathologies (except pneumonia where you hear bronchial breath sounds) 2) fremitus decreases for all pathologies (except pneumonia where it increases) 3) Tension pneumo = tracheal deviation away from the lesion. 4) Spon pneumo = tracheal deviation toward the lesion.
CTAB is a code for "normal lung exam." If you found a positive finding, you would instead describe the positive finding. When you describe a positive finding, it is presumed that all other findings on the lung were "normal." The same is true for EOMI, RRR, No M/R/G, NT ND +BSx4 and the rest of the nonsense code.
The anteroposterior diameter of his chest is increased. Diminished breath sounds and scattered rhonchi are audible throughout the lung fields. Which of the following laboratory abnormalities is expected? A) Decreased blood Pco2 B) Increased blood HCO3− (Classic COPD->Increased PCO2->Decreased pH->Increased HCO3- as compensation) C
Breath sounds are decreased in all lung fields with rhonchi heard at bases and a prolonged expiratory phase. She has sinus tachycardia and P pulmonale on EKG. PFTs show FEV1 greater than 80% of predicted, & FEV1/FVC ratio of 70% of predicted and a diffusion lung capacity of carbon monoxide greater than 60 % of predicted.
He has smoked 1 and 1/1 packs of cigarettes daily for 35 yrs. He has had an 8 kg of weight loss since his last visit 1 yr ago. Vital signs are within normal limits. Rhonchi are heard in both lung bases. A chest x-ray shows hyperinflation consistent with chronic obstructive pulmonary dz, elevation of the Lt. hemidiaphragm, and a Lt apical lung mass.

Jan 3, 2013. #22. VanBrown said: I listen to lung sounds, heart sounds, and anything else I think is appropriate for screening purposes regardless of their chief complaint. You can pick up AAA, diastolic murmurs, malignant effusions, and many more things by just taking the 2 minutes and being a doctor.
The nice part was that the sounds were clearly louder at one location (as opposed to real life where it kinda blurs). The heart sounds are accompanied by a vignette that usually points you in the right direction. Look at the online tutorial with sample blocks for a good example. I don't recall any lung sounds.
