Rhonchi often occurs in what condition = Bronchiectasis
Breath Sounds = High pitched sounds produced by narrowed airways. The can be heard upon exhalation = Wheezes
Wheezes are seen in two generational populations with 2 different conditions = Asthma in young people ; Emphysema in older people
Breath Sounds = A wheeze-like sound heard on inspiration and is usually due to a blockage of airflow. Stridor
If abnormal breath sounds are heard then proceed with what? performing vocal resonance
what is used to perform vocal resonance testing? stethoscope

If you hear "aaaaa" as pt. says "eeeee", consolidation is present = terminology? Egophony
Asthma = percussion? resonant
Asthma = fremitus? decreased
Asthma = breath sounds? wheezing
Atelectasis = percussion? dull/flat
Atelectasis = fremitus? decreased
Atelectasis = breath sounds? absent
Bronchiectasis = percussion? Resonant
Bronchiectasis =fremitus? Normal
Bronchiectasis = breath sounds? Rhonchi
Bronchitis = percussion? Resonant
Bronchitis = fremitus? Normal
Bronchitis = breath sounds? Rales
Emphysema = percussion? Hyperressonant
Emphysema = fremitus? Decreased
Emphysema = breath sounds? Wheezing
Pleurisy = percussion? Resonant
Pleurisy = fremitus? Decreased
Pleurisy = breath sounds? Crackles (Friction Rub)
Pneumothorax = percussion? Hyperresonant
Pneumothorax = fremitus? Decreased
Pneumothorax = breath sounds? decreased
Pneumonia = percussion? Dull
Pneumonia = fremitus? Increased
Pneumonia = breath sounds? Egophony, bronchophony, whispering pectoriloquy, Crack
If the words "1,2,3" are heard clearly and distincly, consolidation is present. = what test? Whispered Pectoriloquy
Lobar Pneumonia = 4 stages = 1) Consolidation, 2) Red Hepatization, 3) Gray Hepitization, 4) Resolution
Exam Findings for Lobar Pneumonia = (7) Productive Cough at 10 days, Dull percussion, Rales, Increased tactile fremitus, Rusty brown sputum; silhouette sign; air bronchogram
