NUR 325 Respiratory_Review Questions- Johns Hopkins University
Adventitious lung sounds are abnormal, additional lung sounds, wheezes, crackles, rhonchi, stridor and pleural friction rub. There are two different types of crackles: coarse crackles and faint crackles. Coarse Crackles are usually heard in the upper airways. They are low-pitched and sound wet, with Jenson (2015) describing the sound as being similar to when you seperate velcro. Fine crackles, on the other hand, are high-pitched, crackling sound, usually heard in the lower lung fields. Jenson, (2015) describes the sound like what rubbing hair between your fingers sounds like. References Jensen, S. (2015). Nursing health assessment: A best practice approach (2nd ed.).
