Test 2: Heart & lungs Flashcards
(201 cards)
hyperresonance of lungs can be heard in
asthma and COPD
soft and low pitched; inspiratory sounds that last longer than expiratory sounds without pause
vesicular breath sounds
inspiratory and expiratory sounds are about equal; heard often in the 1st and 2nd interspaces and b/t scapula
bronchovesicular breath sounds
loud expiratory sounds last longer than inspiratory sound with a short silence between.
bronchial breath sounds
discontinuous breath sounds
crackles or rales
continuous breath sounds
wheezes or rhonchi
discontinous, soft, high-pitched, and very brief breath sounds. Popping that sounds like wood in fireplace.
fine crackles
discontinuous, brief, popping breath sounds. Most common during inspiration.
coarse crackles
relatively high-pitched with hissing or shrill quality. mostly heard on expiration
wheezes
when “ee” sounds like “a” that suggest pneumonia
egophony
longer forced expiratory time is seen with
COPD
creaking or grating sounds that have been described as being similar to walking on fresh snow
pleural rub
continuous, low pitched sounds with a gurgling, snoring or rattle-like quality. More common during expiration.
rhonchi
an S3 gallop indicates
a change in ventricular compliance
mitral valve opens and rapid ventricular filling as blood flows early in diastole from atria into ventricle.
S3
S4 relates to a
stiff ventricle and atrial contraction
Stage I hypertension is
140-159/90-99mmHg
Stage II hypertension is
> 160/100
Prehypertension
129-139/80-89 mmHg
the carotid upstroke always occurs
in systole after S1
sounds or murmur coinciding with the carotid upstroke are
systolic
sounds or murmurs coinciding after the carotid upstroke are
diastolic
how to detect mitral stenosis
patient in left lateral decubitus and listen to apical pulse with bell of stethescope.
how to detect aortic murmurs
ask the patient to lean forward, exhale, and hold breath. listen with diaphragm from left sternal border to apex.
