To perform anterior thoracic percussion:
E
1. Place the consumer in an upright sitting position with the shoulders back.
2. Percuss two or three strikes along the right lung apex.
3. Repeat this process at the left lung apex.
4. Note the sound produced from each percussion strike and compare the
sounds. If different sounds are produced or if the sound is not resonant, then pathology is suggested.
5. Move down approximately 5cm, or every second ICS, and percuss in that area.
6. Percuss in the same position on the other side.
7. Continue to move down until the entire lung has been percussed.
To perform posterior thoracic percussion:
E
1. Place the consumer in an upright sitting position with a slight forwards tilt.
Have the consumer bend the head down and fold the arms in front at the waist. These actions move the scapula laterally and maximise the lung area that can be percussed (Figure 13.19).
2. Percuss the right lung apex located along the top of the shoulder.
Approximately three percussion strikes should be struck along this area.
3. Repeat the process on the left lung apex.

4. Note the sound produced from each percussion strike and compare the
sounds. If different sounds are produced or if the sound is not resonant, then pathology is suggested.
5. Move down approximately 5cm, or every second ICS, and percuss in
that area.
6. Percuss in the same position on the contralateral side.
7. Continue to move down the thorax until the entire posterior lung eld has
been percussed.
To perform lateral thoracic percussion:
E
1. Place the consumer in an upright sitting position, with hands and arms
raised directly overhead. This position allows for the greatest exposure of the thorax.
2. Either percuss the entire right lateral thorax and then the entire left lateral
thorax, or alternate right and left sides. Start to percuss in the ICS directly below the axilla.
3. Note the sound produced from that strike.
4. Percuss approximately 5cm below the original location, or about every
other ICS.
5. Percuss down to the base of the lung.
Normal lung tissue produces a resonant sound. The diaphragm and the cardiac
N
silhouette emit dull sounds. Rib sounds are at. Hyperresonance is normal in
thin adults and in consumers with decreased musculature.
The presence of hyperresonance in the majority of adults is abnormal.
A
Hyperresonance is percussed in air-lled spaces. It can be elicited in
P
pneumothorax, emphysema, asthma and an emphysematous bulla.
The healthy human lung never produces a dull sound.
A
Dullness is found in solid or uid-lled structures. Pneumonia, atelectasis,
P
pulmonary oedema, pleural effusion, pulmonary brosis, haemothorax,
empyema and tumours are dull to percussion.
CHAPTER 13
Diaphragmatic excursion
Diaphragmatic excursion provides information on the consumer’s depth of ventilation. This is accomplished by measuring the distance the diaphragm moves during inspiration and expiration.
To perform diaphragmatic excursion:
E
1. Position the consumer for posterior thoracic percussion.
2. With the consumer breathing normally, percuss the right lung from the apex
(resonance in healthy adults) to below the diaphragm (dull). Note the level at which the percussion note changes quality to orient your assessment to the consumer’s percussion sounds. If full posterior thoracic percussion has already been performed, then this step can be eliminated.
3. Instruct the consumer to inhale as deeply as possible and hold that breath.
4. With the consumer holding their breath, percuss the right lung in the
scapular line from below the scapula to the location where resonance changes to dullness.
5. Mark this location and tell the consumer to exhale and breathe normally.
6. When the consumer has recovered, instruct the consumer to inhale as deeply
as possible, exhale fully, and hold this exhaled breath.
7. Repercuss the right lung below the scapula in the scapular line in a caudal
direction. Mark the spot where resonance changes to dullness.
8. Measure the distance between the two marks.
9. Repeat steps 1–8 for the left posterior thorax. Figure 13.20 illustrates
diaphragmatic excursion.

UNIT 2
The measured distance for diaphragmatic excursion is normally 3 to 5cm. The
N
level of the diaphragm on inspiration is T12, and T10 on expiration. The right side of the diaphragm is usually slightly higher than the left.
A diaphragmatic excursion that is less than 3cm is abnormal.
A
Conditions involving hypoventilation, in which the consumer is unable to inhale
P
deeply or hold that breath, can lead to a reduction in the diaphragmatic excursion. Pain, obesity, lung congestion, emphysema, asthma and pleurisy are examples.
A high diaphragm level suggests lung pathology.
A
Surgical intervention can elevate the diaphragm. If a lower lobe lobectomy is
P
performed, the diaphragm will move upwards to partially ll the empty space. Likewise, after a pneumonectomy the paralysed diaphragm will move upwards, leading to a high diaphragm level.
Space-occupying states such as
P
ascites and pregnancy will lead to an elevated
diaphragm due to the upwards displacement of the lungs and diaphragm. If atelectasis or a pleural effusion is present in a lower lobe, then the diaphragm
P
will seem abnormally high, because these conditions are dull to percussion, as is the diaphragm. The border between the diaphragm and the dull lung will thus be indistinguishable.
REFLECTION IN PRACTICE
Diaphragmatic excursion technique
You are performing diaphragmatic excursion on a consumer. Midway through performing this assessment, the consumer states, ‘Are you sure you know what you are doing? You keep tapping me and I keep breathing over and over.’
> How would you respond to the consumer? > Would you alter your assessment in any way after this comment? > Why would you do so?
Auscultation
The aim of respiratory auscultation is to identify the presence of normal breath sounds, abnormal lung sounds, adventitious (or added) lung sounds, and adventitious pleural sounds. The anterior, posterior and lateral aspects of the chest are auscultated. A stethoscope is required for this assessment. If an acoustic stethoscope is used, the diaphragm, which transmits high-pitched sounds, is the headpiece of choice. Technological developments accelerated because of the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning that wireless stethoscopes (Zhang et al., 2021), articial intelligence (Glangetas et al., 2021), and smartphone applications (Alkhodari & Khandoker, 2022) are being used as safe and effective tools to support respiratory diagnoses.
CLINICAL REASONING
Practice tip: Factors affecting auscultation
When auscultating you need to consider factors that may impact on the quality of your assessment. The following factors may impact on auscultation.
> Chest hair: Coarse or dense chest hair can be dampened to prevent the distortion of
auscultatory ndings (can sound like crackling).
> Rustling of paper gowns or drapes: Instruct the consumer to remain still while you are
auscultating the lungs.
> Mechanical ventilator tubing: Water accumulation in mechanical ventilator tubing can
produce a gurgling sound. Clear all tubing of moisture prior to auscultation.
> Shivering or chattering teeth: Ascertain why the consumer is shivering or chattering the
teeth (e.g. hypothermia) and intervene to correct the aetiology.

General auscultation
Watch the consumer closely for signs of hyperventilation, such as dizziness. If the consumer complains of dizziness, normal breathing should be resumed. Continue the examination when their dizziness has gone and the consumer’s breathing has returned to baseline.
To perform anterior thoracic auscultation:
E
1. Place the consumer in an upright sitting position with the shoulders back.
2. Instruct the consumer to breathe only through the mouth. Mouth breathing,
when compared to nasal breathing, decreases air turbulence, which can interfere with the interpretation of breath sounds. Have the consumer inhale and exhale deeply and slowly every time the stethoscope is felt or when instructed to do so.
3. Place the stethoscope on the apex of the right lung and listen for one
complete respiratory cycle (one inhalation and one exhalation).
4. Note the sound that is auscultated.
5. Repeat on the left apex.
6. Note the breath sound auscultated in each area and compare one side to the other.
7. Continue to move the stethoscope down approximately 5cm, or every
second ICS, comparing contralateral sides. Remember to visualise the anatomic topography of the chest during auscultation (
To perform posterior thoracic auscultation:
Figure 13.18A).
CHAPTER 13
E
1. Place the consumer in an upright sitting position with a slight forwards tilt,
head bent down, and arms folded in front at the waist, as shown in
Figure 13.19. These actions move the scapulae laterally and maximise the lung
area that can be auscultated.
2. Place the stethoscope rmly on the consumer’s right lung apex. Ask the
consumer to inhale and exhale deeply and slowly every time the stethoscope is felt on the back.
3. Repeat this process on the left lung apex.
4. Move the stethoscope down approximately 5cm, or every second ICS, and
auscultate in that area.
5. Auscultate in the same position on the contralateral side.
6. Continue to move inferiorly with the auscultation until the entire posterior
lung has been assessed. See
Figure 13.18B from the percussion section for the
recommended stethoscope location for each auscultation site.
To perform lateral thoracic auscultation:
E
1. Place the consumer in an upright sitting position with the hands and arms
directly overhead.
2. Auscultate the entire right thorax rst, then the entire left thorax, or
auscultate the right and left lateral thoraxes by comparing side to side. The stethoscope should initially be placed in the ICS directly below the axilla.
3. Instruct the consumer to breathe only through the mouth. Have the
consumer inhale and exhale deeply and slowly every time the stethoscope is felt on the lateral thorax.
4. Note the sound that is auscultated and continue to move the stethoscope
inferiorly approximately every 5 cm, or every second ICS, until the entire thorax has been auscultated (
Figures 13.18C and 13.18D).
Breath sounds
Air rushing through the respiratory tract during inspiration and expiration
N
generates different breath sounds in the normal consumer. There are three
distinct types of normal breath sounds (see Table 13.2):
1. Bronchial (or tubular breath sound)
2. Bronchovesicular
3. Vesicular

Each breath sound is unique in its pitch, intensity, quality, relative duration in the inspiratory and expiratory phases of respiration, and location. information. It is abnormal to auscultate these breath sounds in locations other than where they are usually found. For example, a consumer with emphysema may have
bronchial breath sounds in the peripheral lung parenchyma, where
vesicular sounds are expected to be found. Also keep in mind that heart sounds may obscure some of the breath sounds during the anterior chest auscultation.

FIGURE 13.21 Location of breath sounds
Breath sounds that are not normal can be classied as either abnormal or
adventitious breath sounds. Abnormal breath sounds are characterised by decreased or absent breath sounds. Adventitious breath sounds are superimposed sounds on the normal bronchial, bronchovesicular and vesicular breath sounds.
There are ve adventitious breath sounds:
1. Fine crackle
2. Coarse crackle
3. Wheeze
4. Pleural friction rub
5. Stridor
Table 13.3 depicts general characteristics of adventitious breath sounds.

CHAPTER 13
CLINICAL REASONING
Practice tip: Upper airway sounds
If the consumer has secretions in the oropharynx (upper airway), whether from allergies, infection, coryza or some other cause, their respirations may be loud and gurgling. It may sound as if the consumer is having difculty breathing. Ask the individual to clear the throat, then reassess the breath sounds.
An emphysematous consumer may have decreased breath sounds due to the
P
inability to inhale and exhale deeply.
Conditions such as bronchial obstruction and atelectasis may lead to decreased
P
breath sounds because a foreign object or sputum occludes some portion of the
respiratory tract, thus blocking the passage of air.
A
Absent breath sounds are always a pathological nding.
A pleural effusion, tumour, pulmonary brosis, emphysema, haemothorax and
P
hydrothorax lead to absent breath sounds. These states occupy or displace
normal aerating lung space internally or externally to the lungs.
A consumer with a large pneumothorax can present with absent breath sounds
P
due to the collapse of the lung.
Absent breath sounds occur when the lung has been removed
P
(pneumonectomy).
Blocked passageways in the respiratory tract explain the aetiology for absent
P
breath sounds in pulmonary oedema, massive atelectasis and complete
airway obstruction.

CLINICAL REASONING
Lung auscultation practice
In addition to practising auscultation in the clinical setting, it is possible to rene skills on the internet. Websites such as the R.A.L.E. Repository at http://www.rale.ca and the UCLA Auscultation Assistant at http://www.wilkes.med.ucla.edu/ allow you to hear a variety of normal and pathological breath sounds.
Voice sounds
The assessment of voice sounds is an additional assessment not commonly practised by Australian and New Zealand Registered Nurses. Voice sounds assist to conrm or distinguish potential abnormalities. They reveal whether the lungs are lled with air, uid, or are solid. This auscultation is performed only if an abnormality is detected during the general auscultation, percussion or palpation assessment. There are three techniques by which voice sounds can be assessed:
1. Bronchophony
2. Egophony
3. Whispered pectoriloquy
Only one of these assessments needs to be performed because they all are variations of the same physical principle and assessment technique, and they all provide the same information. The voice sound ndings will parallel those obtained during tactile fremitus. Thus, voice sounds will be heard loudest over the trachea and softest in the lung’s periphery.
To perform bronchophony:
E
1. Position the consumer for posterior, lateral or anterior chest auscultation. The
area to be auscultated will be that in which an abnormality was found during percussion or palpation or in which adventitious breath sounds were heard.
2. Place the stethoscope in the appropriate location on the consumer’s chest.
3. Instruct the consumer to say the words ‘99’ or ‘1, 2, 3’ every time the
stethoscope is placed on the chest or when told to do so.
4. Auscultate the transmission of the consumer’s spoken word.
To perform
E
1. Repeat steps 1 and 2 from the bronchophony procedure.
2. Instruct the consumer to say the sound ‘ee’ every time the stethoscope is
placed on the chest or when told to do so.
3. Auscultate the transmission of the consumer’s spoken word.
To perform whispered pectoriloquy:
E
1. Repeat steps 1 and 2 from the bronchophony procedure.
2. Instruct the consumer to whisper the words ‘99’ or ‘1, 2, 3’ every time the
stethoscope is placed on the chest or when told to do so.
3. Auscultate the transmission of the consumer’s spoken word.
The normal nding when performing tests for bronchophony, egophony and
N
whispered pectoriloquy is an unclear transmission or mufed sounds.
A
>
Positive (or present) voice sounds are:
• Bronchophony: clear transmission of ‘99’ or ‘1, 2, 3’ with increased intensity
• Egophony: transformation of ‘ee’ to ‘ay’ with increased intensity; the voice
• Whispered pectoriloquy: clear transmission of ‘99’ or ‘1, 2, 3’ with
Any type of consolidation process, such as pneumonia, will produce positive

voice sounds. Remember the principle that sound is transmitted reasonably well

Voice sounds are absent or even more decreased than in the normal lung in
A
conditions where the lung is more air-lled than usual. Air conducts sound poorly. Therefore, air-lled lungs (emphysema, asthma,
P
pneumothorax) will produce absent voice sounds.
