HIGH-LOUD MODERATE LOW-SOFT
Fine Crackles
High-pitched, short, popping sound pneumonia and CHF
Crepitus
a "crackling" sensation
Sternal Angle
a bony ridge located at the point where the manubrium articulates with the body of the sternum
hypoxemia
a decrease in oxygen, increases respiration but is less effective than a rise in CO2 levels
Pectus excavatum
a markedly sunken sternum and adjacent cartilages funnel chest
alveolar sacs
contains alveoli
visceral pleura
covers the external surface of lungs
hypoventilation
dec rate and depth breathing pattern overdosage of narcotics
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
decreased chest expansion
bradypnea
deep breathing pattern
Orthopnea
difficulty breathing when lying supine
Ataxic
disorganization of breathing pattern, irregular and varying depths of respiration extreme expression of Biot's
tachypnea
fast breathing pattern
Sibilant wheeze
high-pitched musical sound heard in cases of ACUTE ASTHMA and CHRONIC EMPHYSEMA
Air trapping
inc in difficulty in getting breath out chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
hyperventilation
increase rate and depth CNS disorders overdosage to salicylate sever anxiety
Biot's respiration
irregular pattern, seen with meningitis or severe brain damage -impending sign of death
Hyperresonance
is elicited in cases of trapped air such as Emphysema or Pneumothorax
bronchioles
passage ways
pectus carinatum
pigeon chest forward protrusion of the sternum
alveolar ducts
place where bronchioles are terminated
