| There are three main types of breath sounds: |
|
Definition
a. vesicular
b. bronchovesicular
c. bronchial |
|
|
Term
| Vesicular breathing is characterized by inspiratory sounds that are |
|
Definition
| longer than expiratory. These are soft low-pitched sounds and are heard over most of the lungs especially at the base. This is normal. |
|
|
Term
| bronchovesicular breathing, inspiratory and expiratory sounds are |
|
Definition
| equal in length and in pitch. These are often heard over the 1st and 2nd intercostal spaces anteriorly and posteriorly between the upper interscapular regions. This is normal. |
|
|

| expiratory sounds last longer than inspiratory ones. These sounds are loud and relatively high-pitched. |
|
|
Term
| When bronchial breathing is heard, one should suspect that |
|
Definition
| the normal air-filled lung has been replaced by fluid or by consolidated lung tissue like in a pneumonia, tuberculosis or atelectasis. |
|
|
Term
| When bronchial breathing is heard, you must proceed to perform 3 additional tests which are not part of the normal examination: |
|
Definition
bronchophony
egophony
whispered pectoriloquy |
