Sleep apnea syndrome
![Page 17: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Central Cyanosis
• Results from pulmonary dysfunction, the mucous membrane of conjunctiva and tongue are bluish.
• If there was chronic hypoxemia and secondary erythrocytosis, you can detect the conjunctival and scleral vessels to be full, tortuous and bluish.
![Page 18: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Clubbing
• In clubbing, there is widening of the AP and lateral diameter of terminal portion of fingers and toes giving the appearance of clubbing.
• The angle between the nail and skin is greater than 180.
• The periungual skin is stretched and shiny.• There is fluctuation of the nail bed.• One can feel the posterior edge of the nail.
![Page 22: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Significance: Clubbing Observed In:
• Intrathoracic malignancy: Primary or secondary (lung, pleural, mediastinal)
• Suppurative lung disease: (lung abscess, bronchiectasis, empyema)
• Diffuse interstitial fibrosis: Alveolar capillary block syndrome
• In association with other systemic disorders

Hospital Setting
• Isolation room
• Oxygen set up
![Page 31: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Effort of Ventilation
• Person appears uncomfortable. Breathing seems voluntary.
• Accessory muscles are in use, expiratory muscles are active and expiration is not passive any more.
• The degree of negative pleural pressure is high.
• The respiratory rate is increased.
![Page 32: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Tracheal Position: Mediastinum
• Any deviation of the mediastinum is abnormal• Lateral shift: The mediastinum can be either
pulled or pushed away from the lesion– Pull: Loss of lung volume (Atelectasis, fibrosis,
agenesis, surgical resection, pleural fibrosis)
– Push: Space occupying lesions (pleural effusion, pneumothorax, large mass lesions)
– Mediastinal masses and thyroid tumors
![Page 35: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Tracheal shift to right
![Page 36: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Chest Expansion
• Asymmetrical chest expansion is abnormal– The abnormal side expands less and lags behind
the normal side– Any form of unilateral lung or pleural disease
can cause asymmetry of chest expansion
• Global expansion decrease
![Page 37: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Percussion: Decreased or Increased Resonance is Abnormal
• Dullness– Decreased resonance is noted with pleural effusion and
all other lung diseases– The dullness is flat and the finger is painful to
percussion with pleural effusion
• Hyper resonance: Increased resonance can be noted either due to lung distention as seen in asthma, emphysema, bullous disease or due to Pneumothorax
• Traube's space
![Page 38: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Breath Sounds: Diminished or Absent
• Intensity of breath sounds, in general, is a good index of ventilation of the underlying lung.
• Breath sounds are markedly decreased in emphysema.
• Symmetry: If there is asymmetry in intensity, the side where there is decreased intensity is abnormal.
• Any form of pleural or pulmonary disease can give rise to decreased intensity.
• Harsh or increased: If the intensity increases there is more ventilation and vice versa.
![Page 39: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Bronchial
• Bronchial breathing anywhere other than over the trachea, right clavicle or right inter-scapular space is abnormal.
• In consolidation, the bronchial breathing is low pitched and sticky and is termed tubular type of bronchial breathing.
• In cavitary disease, it is high pitched and hollow and is called cavernous breathing. You can simulate this sound by blowing over an empty coke bottle.
![Page 40: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Rhonchi
• Rhonchi are long continuous adventitious sounds, generated by obstruction to airways.
• When detected, note whether it is generalized or localized, during inspiration or expiration, and the pitch.
• Diffused rhonchi would suggest a disease with generalized airway obstruction like asthma or COPD.
![Page 42: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

Rhonchi
• Localized rhonchi suggests obstruction of any etiology e.g., tumor, foreign body or mucous.
• Mucous secretions will disappear with coughing, so would the rhonchus.
• Expiratory rhonchi implies obstruction to intrathoracic airways.
• Asthmatics can also have inspiratory rhonchi while it is uncommon in COPD.
![Page 44: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Pleural Rub
• Normal parietal and visceral pleura glide smoothly during respiration.
• If the pleura is roughened due to any reason, a scratching, grating sound, related to respiration is heard.
• You can hear the sound by compressing harder with the stethoscope and making the patient take deep breaths.
• It is localized and can be palpable.
![Page 45: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Stridor
• Loud audible inspiratory rhonchi is called a stridor.
• Inspiratory rhonchi in general, implies large airway obstruction.
![Page 47: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Crackles
• Interrupted adventitious sounds are called crackles.• Make a notation about timing, intensity, effect with
respiration, position, coughing and character.• Timing and Intensity Crackles heard only at the end of
inspiration are called fine crackles.– When the surfactant is depleted, the alveoli collapse. Air enters
the alveoli at the end of inspiration.– This sound is generated as the alveoli pop open from it's collapsed
state.
![Page 49: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Crackles
• When the crackles are heard at the end of inspiration and the beginning of expiration the fluid or secretions are probably in respiratory bronchioles: medium crackles.
• If the crackles are heard throughout it implies the secretions are in bronchi: coarse crackles.
![Page 50: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Voice Transmission (tactile fremitus, vocal resonance)
• Asymmetrical voice transmission points to disease on one side.
• Increased:– Any situation where bronchial breathing is
heard the sounds become loud, sharp and distinct: Bronchophony.
– In extreme situations, the whispered words come clearly and distinctly: Whispering pectoriloquy.
![Page 51: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Voice Transmission (tactile fremitus, vocal resonance)
• Decreased: A quantitative decrease in voice transmission could be due to any other form of lung or pleural disease.
• Qualitative alteration:– A qualitative alteration of voice transmission is
noted over consolidation and along the upper margin of pleural effusion: Egophony
– The sound is like a nasal twang or goat bleating.
![Page 52: Lung Examination: Abnormal Arcot J. Chandrasekhar, M.D.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/5697bfa31a28abf838c966fe/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
