However, accurate interpretation of respiratory sounds requires clinician’s considerable expertise, so trainees such as interns and residents sometimes misidentify respiratory sounds. Detection of abnormal respiratory sounds with a stethoscope is important in diagnosing respiratory diseases and providing first aid. The wheeze is musical with a well-defined pitch, visible on the spectrogram.Auscultation has been essential part of the physical examination this is non-invasive, real-time, and very informative. Wheeze-Asthma: Patient with asthma with an inspiratory and expiratory wheeze. Normal Breath Sounds: Normal breath sounds, recorded at left upper sternal border.įirst recording segment as heard with stethoscope.

Weiner, MD, PhD, Emergency Medicine, Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School Laryngomalacia-in an Infant: Infant, 5 weeks old. Weiner, MD, PhD, Emergency Medicine, Children’s Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School Stridor (Laryngomalacia in Infant) High-pitched inspiratory stridor consistent with epiglottitis or foreign body. Sounds like rubbing two pieces of leather together. Pleural Friction Rub: Friction rub-rough low-frequency sound. Rhonchi (In Patient with Uremic Pericarditis): There is a background pericardial rub and rhonchi can be heard as well. Sound Contributed by Doug Bails, MD Kendrick Lopez, MD and Michael Janjigian, MD, FACP Division of General Medicine, Bellevue Hospital, New York University School of Medicine Rhonchi (In Patient with Uremic Pericarditis) Note the difference between the rhonchi and the more musical, higher pitched wheezes. Rhonchi: Intubated patient with low pitched, atonal rhonchi. Sound Contributed by Doug Bails, MD Kendrick Lopez, MD and Michael Janjigian, MD, FACP Division of General Medicine, Bellevue Hospital, New York University School of Medicine There are dual components to this wheeze, which may suggest that the sounds are emanating from airways of different diameters. Wheeze-COPD: Patient with COPD with wheezing. Lange, MD, FCCP, Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO Wheeze-COPD This could be compatible with stenosis, mucous obstruction, tumor or foreign body obstruction. Wheeze: Patient on a ventilator with inspiratory wheeze. Lange, MD, FCCP, Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, Denver, CO Patient on a ventilator with pulmonary edema. Of mucus and airway obstruction as might occur with infection.Ĭrackles-Pulmonary Edema: Early inspiratory crackles and late inspiratory fine crackles.

These are wet crackles, typical of bronchiectasis. Crackles-Bronchiectasis (in Adult)Ĭrackles-Bronchiectasis (in Adult): Adult male patient 47 years old, recorded at lateral left of the chest.
