Shadow Health Respiratory Concept Lab | Complete Solutions. Detail normal air passage when a patient breathes. Correct ans - air rushes through nasal passages and trachea, bronchi , & into lungs where it's absorbed by the alveoli What happens during auscultation? Correct ans - Healthcare professional listen to the heart sounds through a stethoscope What are bronchial sounds and how are these sounds detected? Correct ans - Harsh, high-pitched, & loud sound that can be heard above the manubrium (over the trachea). What are bronchovesicular sounds and how are these sounds detected? Correct ans - Medium in loudness & pitch sounds that can be heard over the main bronchi What are vesicular sounds and how are these sounds detected? Correct ans - The softest and lowest in pitch sounds that are heard over the lower bronchi, bronchioles, and lobes Lungs Lobes Correct ans - Where are vesicular sounds normally heard? Correct ans - peripheral lung tissue What is so important about increased breath sounds? Correct ans - It may detail that the location of breath sounds is off. For instance, if bronchial or bronchovesicular sounds (i.e lounder and harsher) are in peripheral lung tissue (where vesicular sounds usually are) this is due to underlying lung tissues fill with liquid or solid material instead of air. What are adventitious sounds? Correct ans - abnormal sounds present in addition to the normal lungs sounds What are [fine] crackles? Correct ans - High-pitched crackling sounds that occur when inhaled air meets DEFLATED alveoli, causing them to pop open 3 major key points about fine crackles? Correct ans - • short popping sounds • high-pitched • location: usually bases of lower lobes
