fleeting/needle like jab that lasts a few seconds, situated in shoulders or
between shoulder blades in the back
dullness on percussion present in pleural effusion or lobar pneumonia
tactile fremitus decreased or absent if excess air in lungs (emphysema), pelural thickening or
effusion, bronchial obstruction
increased if presence of fluids, solid mass, consolidation
trachea exam eviation: volume loss from fibrosis or atelactasis will pull the trachea that
direction. mau also be anterior mediastinal tumor, inlammation
lung percussion dull=cardiac, luver
tympany--stomach

egophony--consolidation of lung tissue--ee turns into "a"
bronchial breath sounds harsh, hollow sound - best heard over trachea and larynx
bronchovesicular breath s over bronchi, med pitch and loudness
vesicular sounds heard every where else, softest and lowest pitch
fine crackles are more often in bases of lungs
coarse crackles more often in trachea and large bronchi
rhonchi are due to airway obstruction from mass, secretions, muscular constriction
wheezes are due to constriction, mass, secretions
stridor strained, high-pitched sound heard on inspiration caused by obstruction in the
