question with answers
Harsh, High-pitched, Loud - -You can hear bronchial sounds above the
manubrium, over the trachea. Bronchial Sounds are:
-Medium in loudness, medium in pitch - -Bronchiovesicular sounds are heard
over the main bronchi. These sounds are:
-Softest, lowest in pitch - -vesicular sounds are over the lower bronchi, the
bronchioles, and the lobes. The left lung has two lobes. The right lung has
three lobes.
-Right lung - -3 lobes: Vesicular Right Superior, Vesicular Right
Middle,Vesicular Right Inferior.
-Left lung - -2 lobes: Vesicular Left Superior & Vesicular Left Inferior
-Abnormal lung sounds - -Diminished or absent breath sounds, increased
breath sounds, & adventitious sounds.
-Decreased Breath Sounds - -Normal lungs sounds are usually easy to hear
with a stethoscope. Occasionally you will hear sounds that are decreased in
intensity, or even absent. Decreased breaths sounds occur in airway disease
or obstruction, diaphragm paralysis, or impairment of sound transmission
through the chest wall. Worsening symptoms may lead to absent breath
sounds. Absent lung sounds usually indicate that no air is moving in the lung
tissue.
-Increased Breath Sounds - -A common abnormal finding is hearing
bronchial or bronchiovesicular sounds, which are louder and harsher, in
peripheral lung tissue where vesicular sounds are normally heard. This
occurs when underlying lung tissue is filled with liquid or solid material,
rather than air.
-Adventitious Sounds - -When you auscultate, you might hear abnormal
sounds in addition to the normal lung sounds. These additional abnormal
sounds are called adventitious sounds.
-Crackles (Fine) - -High-pitched crackling sounds that occur when inhaled air
meets deflated alveoli, causing them to pop open. Short popping sounds,
high-pitched, Location: usually bases of lower lobes.Sound like the noise
created by rolling a strand of hair between your thumb and index finger.
(likely Pneumonia)
