Slide 26 :

Chest wall Pectus carinatum Pectus excavatum

Slide 27 :

Slide 28 :

Inspection of anterior chest wall 6) Inspect patient’s chest normal breathing movement. 7) Inspect patient’s chest for accessory muscle use. 8) Inspect patient’s chest for retraction of lower intercostal spaces. 9) Stand again to the right of patient and look tangentially for apical and epigastric pulsation. 10) Inspect the chest wall and skin for swelling, scars, skin eruption or engorged veins.

Slide 29 :

Palpation of anterior chest wall 1) Stand to the right of the patient. 2) Ask the patient to lie supine. 3) Palpate upper lung zone to confirm the movement by placing the palms in the infraclavicular fossa and the two thumbs in the midline at the level of suprasternal notch. Let the patient inspire deeply and let your thumbs follow chest movement. 4) Palpate middle lung zone by putting the palm in the middle part with tips of thumbs in the midline. Let the patient inspire deeply and let your thumbs follow chest movement.

Slide 30 :

Slide 31 :

Palpation of anterior chest wall 5) Palpate lower lung zone by putting the palm in the lower part with tips of thumbs in the midline. Let the patient inspire deeply and let your thumbs to follow chest movement. 6) Palpate for palpable rhonchi, pleural rub or chest wall tenderness by putting the palm on various areas of chest wall. 7) Palpate for Tactile vocal fremitus a) Place the palm of hand over various area of chest wall in the direction of bronchial tree away from midline with comparison. b) Ask the patient to repeat the words “44” in arabic

Slide 32 :

TVF2

Slide 33 :

Tracheal examination: a) Stand to the right of the patient. b) Ask the patient to sit up with the head straight. c) Inspect for tracheal position “Trill’s sign”. d) Tracheal shift: Insert the index finger in horizontal position in the pouch between the medial end of sternomastoid and the lateral aspect of trachea with comparison. e) Check the cricosternal distances. This is the distance between the cricoid cartilage and the suprasternal notch. If it is less than 3 finger breadths, this indicates hyperinflation of the lung. f) Tracheal descent: place the tip of the index finger on the thyroid cartilage during inspiration to observe its descent.

Posterior Auscultation

Slide 56 :

Interpretation of findings Pleural effusion reduced tactile vocal fremitus reduced chest expansion stony dull reduced air entry no added sounds reduced vocal resonance Consolidation increased tactile vocal fremitus reduced expansion dull percussion bronchial breathing coarse creps increased vocal resonance whispering pectoriloquy

Slide 57 :

Interpretation of findings Pneumothorax deviated trachea reduced tactile vocal fremitus hyper-resonance reduced air entry reduced vocal resonance Collapse deviated trachea reduced tactile vocal fremitus dull percussion reduced air entry +/- creps

Slide 58 :

Technique of Auscultation1 Patient relaxes and breathes normally with mouth open, auscultate lungs, apices and middle and lower lung fields posteriorly, laterally and anteriorly. Alternate and compare both sides at each site. Listen at least one complete respiratory cycle at each site. Listen to quiet respiration. If sounds are inaudible, then ask him take deep breaths. First describe the breath sounds and then the adventitious sounds.

Slide 59 :

Technique of Auscultation2 Note intensity of breath sounds and compare with opposite side. Assess length of inspiration and expiration. Listen for a pause between inspiration, expiration and the quality of pitch of sound compare intensity of breath sounds between upper and lower chest in upright position. Compare intensity of breath sounds from dependent to top lung in decubitus position. Note the presence or absence of adventitious sounds.

Slide 60 :

Normal Breath Sounds1 The normal breath sounds over lung tissue are vesicular breathing. The vesicular breathing is lower pitched and softer than bronchial breathing. Expiration is shorter (I > E) and no pause between inspiration and expiration. The breath sounds are symmetrical and louder in intensity in bases compared to apices in erect position and dependent lung areas in decubitus position. No adventitious sounds are heard.

Slide 61 :

Normal Breath Sounds2 The breath sounds over tracheobronchial tree are bronchial breathing. only place where tracheobronchial trees are close to chest wall without surrounding lung tissue are Trachea right sternoclavicular joints posterior right interscapular space. These sites where bronchial breathing can be normally heard. bronchial breath sounds have a higher pitch, louder, inspiration and expiration are equal and pause between inspiration and expiration.

Slide 62 :

prolonged expiratory phase (E > I) indicates airway narrowing, as in: Vesicular breathing with prolonged expiration Bronchial asthma. Chronic bronchitis
