Shadow Health Respiratory Concept Lab with complete solution

Shadow Health Respiratory Concept Lab with complete solution Detail normal air passage when a patient breathes. - air rushes through nasal passages and trachea, bronchi , & into lungs where it's absorbed by the alveoli What happens during auscultation? - Healthcare professional listen to the heart sounds through a stethoscope What are bronchial sounds and how are these sounds detected? - Harsh, high-pitched, & loud sound that can be heard above the manubrium (over the trachea). What are bronchovesicular sounds and how are these sounds detected? - Medium in loudness & pitch sounds that can be heard over the main bronchi What are vesicular sounds and how are these sounds detected? - The softest and lowest in pitch sounds that are heard over the lower bronchi, bronchioles, and lobes Lungs Lobes - Where are vesicular sounds normally heard? - peripheral lung tissue What is so important about increased breath sounds? - It may detail that the location of breath sounds is off. For instance, if bronchial or bronchovesicular sounds (i.e lounder and harsher) are in peripheral lung tissue (where vesicular sounds usually are) this is due to underlying lung tissues fill with liquid or solid material instead of air. What are adventitious sounds? - abnormal sounds present in addition to the normal lungs sounds What are [fine] crackles? - High-pitched crackling sounds that occur when inhaled air meets DEFLATED alveoli, causing them to pop open 3 major key points about fine crackles? - • short popping sounds • high-pitched • location: usually bases of lower lobes What do fine crackles sound like? - like the noise made by rolling a strand of hair b/w the thumb and index finger What is the existence of fine crackles in a vesicular region a likely indicator of? - pneumonia What is pneumonia? - An inflammatory condition of the lung usually caused by an infection What is so important about detecting pneumonia through something like adventitious sounds? - Pneumonia is a major cau
