Terms Related to Breathing Sounds
- Rales (crackles) are fine crackling sounds heard during the auscultation of obstructed bronchi.
- Wheezing refers to continuous high-pitched whistling sounds during breathing.
- Stridor is a strained, high-pitched sound heard during inspiration due to upper airway obstruction.
Lung Capacity and Function
- Total lung capacity (TLC) refers to the maximum amount of air the lungs can hold.
- Forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) measures how much air a person can exhale during the first second of a forced expiration.
- Obstructive lung disease involves narrowed airways leading to resistance during breathing.
Surgical Procedures and Interventions
- Thoracentesis is a surgical puncture to remove fluid from the pleural space.
- Tracheostomy involves creating an opening through the neck into the trachea to facilitate breathing.
