Tympany- Loud, high pitched, long duration, found with enclosed air filled structures (bowel)
Dull - muffled soft, short duration, found with dense fluid filled tissue (liver)
Flat- soft, high pitched sound, very dense tissue (bones and muscles)

Term
Cheyne- Stokes Respirations
Definition
periodic breathing characterized by rhythmic waxing and waning of the depth of respirations
Term
hyperpnea
Definition
abnormally deep breathing
Term
Hyperventilation
Definition
abnormally rapid, deep breathing. You are giving off more CO2 so you cause alkalosis in your body because of a reduction in CO2
Term
Hypoventilation
Definition
reduced breathing - causes buildup of CO2 - causing respiratory acidosis
Term
Kussmaul's Respirations
Definition
(air hunger) marked increase in depth and rate
Term
Orthopnea
Definition
inability yo breathe expect when trunk is in an upright position.
Term
Paradoxical respirations
Definition
portion of a lung deflates during inspiration. (this is opposite of normal)
Term
Periodic Breathing
Definition
rate, depth or tidal volume changes markedly from one interval to the next.
Term
cyanosis
Definition
skin appears blue because of accumulation of un-oxygenated hemoglobin in the blood.
Term
Stridor
Definition
high pitched sound associated with airway obstruction near the larynx
Term
Pulse Pressure
Definition
Difference between systolic and diastolic readings. normally 30-40mmHg.
Term
Hirsutism
Definition
excess hair
Term
Alopecia
Definition
loss or thinning of hair
Term
ptosis
Definition
drooping of upper eyelids
Term
nystagmus
Definition
abnormal, involuntary, rapid eye movement
Term
strabismus
Definition
involuntary drifting of one eye out of alignment (lazy eye)
Term

Term
What do you do when assessing the ears in adults?
Definition
Pull pinna up and back
Term
When assessing the ears in infants

Term
Tympanic Membrane where is cone of light in each ear?
Definition
cone of light at 5 oclock position right ear and 7 oclock position in left ear
Term
webers test
Definition
assesses bone conduction - place vibrating tuning fork in middle of forehead- make sure sound equally in ears
Term
Rinne Test
Definition
Compares bone conduction with air conduction - vibrating tuning fork placed on mastoid process. air conduction should be greater than bone conduction by 2:1 ratio. if yes, it's positive
Term
Tactile Fremitus
Definition
vibration produced when client articulates "99"
Term
Diaphragmatic excursion
Definition
Assesses degree and symmetry of diaphragm movement. Percuss areas of resonance to dullness
Term
Crackles (rales)
Definition
crackling or gurgling sounds commonly heard on inspiration.
Term
Sonorous Wheeze (rhonchi)
Definition
musical sounds or vibrations commonly heard on expiration
Term
Sibilant Wheeze
Definition
Squeaky sounds heard during inspiration and expiration associated with narrowed airways
Term
Pleural Friction Rub
Definition
Grating sound or vibration heard during inspiration and expiration.
Term
Three Parts of normal breathing and where they are heard?
Definition
Vesicular - soft and low pitch sounds heard over peripheral lung
Bronchovesicular- medium pitched heard over mainstream bronchi
Bronchial- loud, sound heard over the trachea.
Term
Bronchophony
Definition
When you are ascultating a persons lungs, "99" should become softer as you move to the peripheries. This is when it doesn't become softer. Could be from phenomia, from solidification around the bronchi- fluid in the alveoli
Term
Egophony
Definition
When asculating lungs, patient is asked to say letter "e" but when listening this sounds more like the letter "a" This shows the patient might have phenomia.
Term
Whispered pectoriloquy
Definition
When ascultating p/t's lungs, when patient whispers it sounds louder due to consolidation of lung tissue (phenomia)
