Adventitious Sounds: None, except perhaps a few transient inspiratory crackles at the bases of the lungs |
|
Chronic Bronchitis
(Breath Sounds) (Adventitious Sounds) |
Breath Sounds: Vesicular (normal)
Adventitious Sounds: None; or scattered coarse crackles in early inspiration and perhaps expiration; or wheezes or rhonchi |
|
Left-Sided Heart Failure
(Breath Sounds) (Adventitious Sounds) |
Breath Sounds: Vesicular
Adventitious Sounds: Late inspiratory crackles in the dependent portions of the lungs; possibly wheezes |

Consolidation
(Breath Sounds) (Adventitious Sounds) |
Breath Sounds: Bronchial over the involved area
Adventitious Sounds: Later inspiratory crackles over the involved area |
|
Atelectasis
(Breath Sounds) (Adventitious Sounds) |
Breath Sounds: Usually absent when bronchial plug persists. Exceptions include right upper lobe atelectasis, where adjacent tracheal sounds may be transmitted.
Adventitious Sounds: None |
