Respiratory Exam Findings
The respiratory exam is a crucial aspect of a complete physical assessment of a patient. It involves an assessment of the chest wall, respiratory rate, and auscultation of the lungs. This write-up presents the findings of a respiratory exam. The exam was performed on a patient, and the following were the results.
Inspection
The chest wall was observed to have no deformities, with symmetric chest expansion during respirations. The patient did not use accessory muscles, and diaphragm use was observed. The skin was intact, with no scars, and the chest AP ratio was 1-2. The respiratory rate was normal, at 20 x min. The nails did not show any clubbing, while the lips and fingers did not have any discoloration or cyanosis.
Palpation
Anterior/posterior palpation was symmetric, and there was no costochondral tenderness during the examination. Palpation of intercostal muscles, back, and spine did not show any tenderness or pain. No tactile fremitus was observed in the anterior and posterior fields.
Percussion
The chest was resonant to percussion in all lung fields, both anterior and posterior, with no dullness observed.
Auscultation
The lungs were clear to auscultation bilaterally, with no rales, wheezing, crackles, or rhonchi observed. Clear adventitious breathing sounds were present in all lung fields, including the anterior, posterior lateral right, lateral left, and apices.
Special Test
During bronchophony, the patient was asked to say “99” while the lung fields were being auscultated. All sounds were muffled, indicating a negative result for auscultation.
