➡️ What are Breath Sounds?
These are the sounds that come from the lungs during inhalation and exhalation that can be heard during auscultation. When an abnormality is heard in a patient's breath sounds, this indicates that other health issues may be present, such as:
▪ Asthma
▪ Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
▪ Foreign body obstruction
▪ Accumulation of fluid
▪ Heart failure
▪ Infection
▪ Inflammation of the airways
▪ Pneumonia
➡️ What is Auscultation?
Auscultation is a simple, non-invasive procedure that involves the use of a stethoscope to listen to the sounds produced by the body. For the sake of this video, of course, we’re focusing specifically on the lungs. A stethoscope amplifies the sounds within the lungs so that we can hear and have an idea of what’s going on with the patient's condition.
➡️ Types of Breath Sounds:
1. Vesicular Breath Sounds
Vesicular is just another name for normal breath sounds. They are low-pitch sounds that you would expect to hear as air flows through an open airway. The sounds are usually soft and can be heard throughout the inspiratory and expiratory phase.
2. Adventitious Breath Sounds
Adventitious breath sounds are the abnormal sounds that occur over the lungs and airways during auscultation. Adventitious breath sounds are commonly associated with a wide array of heart and lung conditions.
➡️ Lung Sounds that You Should Be Familiar With:
1. Crackles (Rales)
2. Wheezes
3. Rhonchi
4. Stridor
5. Diminished Breath Sounds
6. Pleural friction rub
➡️ Causes of Abnormal Breath Sounds:
▪ Crackles - lung sounds that are caused by air moving through secretions of the small or middle airways.
▪ Wheezes - lung sounds that are caused by air moving through a narrowed or constricted airway.
▪ Rhonchi - a lung sound that is caused by air moving through secretions in the larger airways.
▪ Stridor - a lung sound that occurs when an upper airway obstruction is present.
▪ Diminished - heard when there is decreased air movement in the lungs.
▪ Pleural friction rub - a lung sound that is heard when inflamed pleura rub together due to decreased levels of fluid in the pleural space
➡️ What are Bronchial Breath Sounds?
They are hollow lung sounds that can be heard in both normal and abnormal conditions. They are often a sign of pneumonia.

Be sure to check out our FULL guide on Lung Sounds! 👉 bit.ly/2Vjd2Nr
would have been more helpful had you actually included the actual sounds instead of only descriptions!
Why in goodness name would you not have audio examples. Without such this entire video is ridiculous.

Annoying! And it’s an affect too. Stop it!
The background music is extremely annoying and distracting! No audio breath sounds included. Writing seemed informative however I couldn’t stand the background music.
Is it really so much to ask that you INCLUDE EXAMPLES OF THESE BREATH SOUNDS?! WAY TO WASTE OUR TIME!
