|
Heard over all lung fields
|
Wheezes (sibilant wheeze)
|
|
|
Muscular spasm, fluid, or mucus in larger airways, causing turbulence
|
Rhonchi (sonorous wheeze)
|
|
|
Inflamed plerua, parietal pleura rubbing against visceral pleura
|
Pleural fiction rub
|
|
|
Loud and high-pitched with hollow quality. Expiration lasts longer than inspiration
|
Bronchial
|
|
|
Loud bubbly sounds heard during inspiration; not cleared with coughing
|
Coarse crackles
|
|
|
Best heard over trachea; created by air moving through trachea close to chest wall
|
Bronchial
|
|
|
Created by air moving through large airways
|
Bronchovesicular
|
|
|
Primarily heard over trachea and bronchi; if loud enough, can be heard over most lung fields
|
Rhonchi (sonorous wheeze)
|
|
|
Has grating quality heard best during inspiration; does not clear with coughing; heard loudest over lower lateral anterior surface
|
Pleural fiction rub
|
|
|
Lower, more moist sounds heard during middle of inspiration; not cleared with coughing
|
Medium crackles
|
|
|
Best heard over lung's periphery (except over scapula); created by air moving through smaller airways
|
Vesicular
|
|
|
Medium-pitched and blowing sounds of medium intensity. Inspiratory phase is equal to expiratory phase.
|
Bronchovesicular
|
|
|
Heard over anterior lateral lung field (if patient is sitting upright)
|
Pleural fiction rub
|
|
|
Best heard posteriorly between scapulae and anteriorly over bronchioles lateral to sternum at first and second intercostal spaces
|
Bronchovesicular
|
|
|
Random, sudden reinflation of groups of alveoli; also related to increase in fluid in small airways
|
Crackles (rales)
|
|
|
Loud, low-pitched, continuous sounds heard more during expiration; sometimes cleared by coughing. Sounds like blowing air through fluid with a straw
|
Rhonchi (sonorous wheeze)

|
Short, interrupted crackling sounds heard during end of inspiration, expiration, or both. May or may not change with coughing
|
Fine crackles
|
|
|
High-pitched, musical sounds like a squeak heard continuously during inspiration or expiration. Do not clear with coughing
|
Wheezes (sibilant wheeze)
|
|
|
Soft, breezy, and low-pitched sounds. Inspiratory phase is 3 times longer than expiratory phase
|
Vesicular
|
|
|
High-velocity airflow through severly narrowed or obstructed bronchus
|
Wheezes (sibilant wheeze)
|
|
|
Most common in dependent lobes; right and left lung bases
|
Crackles (rales)
