1
Q

tachypnea

A

rapid, shallow breathing

2
Q

hyperventilation

A

rapid, deep breathing

3
Q

bradypnea

A

slow breathing, normal depth

4
Q

hypoventilation

A

shallow, irregular/slow breathing

5
Q

apnea

A

cessation of breathing

6
Q

Cheyne-Stokes respiration

A

periods of apnea alternating regularly with periods of increasing and decreasing rate

7
Q

Biot’s breathing

A

8
Q

chronic obstructive breathing

A

long, ineffective expiratory phase with shallow, increased respirations; causes air trapping

9
Q

resonant

A
medium-loud
low-pitch
clear, hollow
moderate length
e.g. normal lung tissue
10
Q

hyper-resonant

A
louder
lower-pitch
booming
longer
e.g. abnormal adult lung, normal child lung
11
Q

tympany

A
loud
high-pitch
musical/drum-like
long 
e.g. air-filled viscous
12
Q

dull

A

soft and short
high-pitch
muffled thud
e.g. dense organ

13
Q

flat

A

very soft and short
high-pitch
dull
e.g. muscle, bone, tumor

14
Q

normal bronchial sound

A

high-pitched, loud
inspiration is shorter than expiration
harsh, hollow, tubular
location: trachea, larynx

15
Q

normal bronchovesicular sound

A

moderate pitch and amplitude
inspiration = expiration
location: major bronchi

16
Q

normal vesicular sound

A

low-pitch, soft
inspiration is longer than expiration
rustling
location: peripheral lung fields

17
Q

fine crackles

A

high-pitched, soft, brief crackling sounds

due to deflated alveoli popping open during inspration

18
Q

course crackles

A

low-pitched, moist, longer crackling sounds, like velcro

due to air flowing through secretions

19
Q

friction rub

A

loud, course, low-pitched grating or creaking sound

20
Q

wheeze

A

high-pitched wheezing/whistling sound

21
Q

rhonchi

A

low-pitched wheeze/snoring sound

22
Q

stridor

A

loud, high-pitched crowing/honking sound
