    Study Notes

    Adventitious Breath Sounds

    • Abnormal lung sounds occur from air movement through moisture, mucus, or narrowed airways.
    • Sudden opening of collapsed alveoli can also produce these sounds.
    • Bronchial breath sounds: High-pitched, harsh sounds heard over the larynx and trachea; longer on expiration than inspiration.
    • Bronchovesicular breath sounds: Moderate blowing sounds over the mainstem bronchus; inspiration equals expiration.

    Signs of Oxygenation Issues

    • Cyanosis: Bluish or grayish discoloration of skin due to inadequate oxygenation; assessed differently for light and dark skin tones.
    • Diaphoresis: Excessive sweating with moist skin surface.
    • Ecchymosis: Subcutaneous blood collection causing purplish discoloration.

    Edema

    • Defined as excess fluid in tissues, leading to swelling with taut, shiny skin.
    • Pitting edema: Indentation remains after palpation; graded based on severity.
    • Causes of edema include overhydration, heart failure, kidney failure, trauma, or peripheral vascular disease.

    Jaundice

    • Yellow skin due to elevated bilirubin levels; indicates liver or gallbladder disease.
    • Typically begins in the sclera of the eyes before affecting the skin.
    • Harder to detect in darker skin; examine sclera, oral mucous membranes, palms, and soles for yellowish discoloration.
