Pneumonia
KEY TEACHING POINTS
Many of the classic physical findings of lobar consolidation—diminished chest excursion,
dullness, diminished breath sounds, bronchial breath sounds, egophony, and crackles— are accurate signs of pneumonia in patients with cough and fever. Nonetheless, these findings appear in only the minority of patients with proven pneumonia; their absence is therefore diagnostically unhelpful.
In patients with cough and fever, the presence of normal vital signs (i.e., temperature,
pulse rate, respiratory rate) decreases probability of pneumonia.
The Heckerling scoring scheme combines five independent findings of pneumonia
(tachycardia, fever, crackles, diminished breath sounds, and absence of asthma) and greatly increases the clinician’s diagnostic accuracy.
The CURB-65 score, which combines five findings to accurately predict the prognosis of
patients with pneumonia, provides essential information when making decisions about patient triage and care.
Introduction
I.
Like most of the pulmonary examination, the traditional findings of lobar pneumonia were described in 1819 by Laennec, who wrote that clinicians using his newly invented stethoscope could detect acute pneumonia “in every possible case.” the earliest findings of pneumonia are crackles and diminished breath sounds, followed by dullness to percussion, increased tactile fremitus and vocal resonance, and bronchial breath

sounds.

Clinical Significance
A.
INDIVIDUAL FINDINGS
EBM Box 32.1 reviews the findings from over 12,000 patients presenting with acute fever, cough,
sputum production, or dyspnea, all of whom underwent chest radiography (the diagnostic stan­dard for pneumonia). e findings increasing probability of pneumonia, in descending order of their LRs, are asymmetric chest expansion (likelihood ratio [LR] = 44.1), egophony (LR = 4.1), cachexia (LR = 4), percussion dullness (LR = 3.6), bronchial breath sounds (LR = 3.3), oxygen saturation of less than 95% (LR = 3), crackles (LR = 2.8), respiratory rate greater than 28/min (LR = 2.7), temperature greater than 37.8°C (LR = 2.5), diminished breath sounds (LR = 2.4), heart rate greater than 100/min (LR = 2.1), and abnormal mental status (LR = 1.9).

e only finding decreasing the probability of pneumonia was the finding that all vital signs were normal (LR = 0.3). In many studies, wheezing was found more often in patients without pneumonia, primarily because the cause of the acute respiratory complaints in these patients was asthma, not pneumonia.
4,5,20,21
B. LAENNEC VS. MODERN STUDIES
ere are three reasons why the studies in EBM Box 32.1 contradict Laennec’s assertion that physi- cal diagnosis is the perfect diagnostic tool: (1) Patients diagnosed with pneumonia today include those with more mild disease than in Laennec’s time, when the only available diagnostic standard was postmortem examination (i.e., his conclusions were drawn only from patients dying from severe disease). (2) Many traditional findings appear only after several days of illness, times when the mod­ern clinician, already familiar with the chest radiograph, often examines patients in a more cursory fashion. In contrast, Laennec examined each of his patients diligently day after day, concluding that bronchial breath sounds and bronchophony usually appeared only after 1 to 3 days of hospitalization, and dullness to percussion appeared only after day 4. the course of the physical findings. For example, in the preantibiotic era, fever usually lasted 7 days in patients with lobar pneumonia26; in the antibiotic era it lasts usually only 3 or 4 days.

(3) Antimicrobial medications probably alter
27,28
Even so, many great clinicians of the past tempered Laennec’s enthusiasm and taught that aus­cultation was an imperfect diagnostic tool. Writing just 20 years after Laennec’s treatise, omas Addison* stated it was high time “to strip the stethoscope of the extravagant and meretricious pretensions thrust upon it...and to state fairly what it will not, as well as what it will do
29
C. COMBINED FINDINGS
Combining findings improves the accuracy of bedside examination. One of the best models, vali­dated in four different populations,
4,18
scores 1 point for each of the following five findings: (1) temperature greater than 37.8°C, (2) heart rate more than 100/min, (3) crackles, (4) diminished breath sounds, and (5) absence of asthma. EBM Box 32.1 shows that a score of 4 or 5 argues compellingly for pneumonia (LR = 8.2), whereas a score of 0 or 1 argues against pneumonia (LR = 0.3), which, in some groups of patients, may reduce the probability of pneumonia enough that a chest radiograph becomes unnecessary (e.g., in patients presenting to a community office with cough, in whom the probability of pneumonia is 10% or less, a score of 0 or 1 reduces the prob­ability of pneumonia to 3% or less).
D. PNEUMONIA AND PROGNOSIS
In studies of immunocompetent adults hospitalized with community-acquired pneumonia, the 30 day mortality rate is 4% to 15%. Of the individual findings that predict an increased risk of death (EBM Box 32.2), the most compelling ones are hypotension (LR = 5.3), abnormal mental status (LR = 3.9), and hypothermia (LR = 3.5).
Several different scoring schemes combine bedside findings to predict mortality in patients with pneumonia. One of the best validated is the Pneumonia Severity Index,68 which unfortunately has the disadvantage of requiring knowledge of 20 different clinical variables, making it difficult to recall and apply at the bedside. A much simpler rule is the CURB-65 score, based on five prog­nostic variables† identified decades ago by the British oracic Society44: (1) confusion, (2) blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels over 19 mg/dL (>7 mmol/L), (3) respiratory rate of 30 breaths/min
*omas Addison, the discoverer of adrenal insufficiency, was also a recognized master of percussion and
auscultation.
CURB-65 is an acronym for Confusion, Urea, Respiratory rate, Blood pressure, and Age ≥65 years.

or higher, (4) hypotension (i.e., diastolic blood pressure 60 mm Hg or systolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg), and (5) age 65 years or older. e presence of three or more of these CURB-65 vari-
ables is associated with increased hospital mortality (LR = 2.5 for three findings, LR = 5.4 for four findings, and LR = 8.4 for five findings, EBM Box 32.2), whereas the absence of all CURB-65 variables is associated with decreased hospital mortality (LR = 0.2 for 0 findings).

e CURB-65 score requires knowledge of the patient’s blood urea nitrogen (BUN), which may not be immediately available to office-based clinicians. Related scores that omit laboratory values have also been developed, such as the “CRB-65” score, which is simply the CURB-65 without the BUN (thus creating possible scores of 0 to 4). ough less extensively studied than CURB-65, 10 studies of CRB-65 show it to be an accurate predictor of mortality (LR = 0.3 for a CRB-65 score of 0; 0.7 for 1 point; 1.9 for 2 points; 4.7 for 3 points; and 10.1 for 4 points).
35,36,50,54–57,66,69–71
E. HOSPITAL COURSE
Among survivors of pneumonia, abnormalities of the vital signs—fever, tachycardia, tachypnea, and hypotension—usually become normal within 2 to 4 days.
27,28
Once this occurs, subsequent clinical deterioration is rare, and fewer than 1% of patients will require subsequent intensive care, coronary care, or telemetry monitoring.27 If patients are discharged from the hospital before nor­malization of vital signs, there is an increased risk of readmission and death.

Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease
KEY TEACHING POINTS
The most accurate physical signs of chronic obstructive lung disease are also infrequent,
occurring in fewer than 50% of patients.
In patients with chronic dyspnea, many findings increase the probability of obstructive
lung disease: early inspiratory crackles, diminished breath sound score, subxiphoid cardiac impulse, hyperresonance of the chest, accessory muscle use, and pursed lip breathing.
Two findings decrease the probability of obstructive lung disease: a breath sound score
of 16 or more and a forced expiratory time less than 3 seconds.
In patients with exacerbations of obstructive lung disease, the BAP-65 score, which
combines the patient’s age and three findings (blood urea nitrogen >25 mg/dL, altered mental status, and pulse rate 110 beats/min), accurately predicts the risk of mechanical ventilation or death.
I. Introduction
Although descriptions of emphysema date to autopsy reports from the 1600s, it was Laennec who in 1819 recorded the clinical features associated with the disease, including dyspnea, hyper­resonance, faint breath sounds, and wheezes.1 Over the last 200 years, others have embellished Laennec’s description, but the principal bedside findings are the same. Writing in 1892, Osler stated that emphysema could be recognized “at a glance” from its characteristic features, includ­ing rounded shoulders; barrel chest; prominent epigastric cardiac impulse; hyperresonant chest; loss of cardiac, liver, and splenic dullness; enfeebled breath sounds; and prolonged expiration.
In the 1920s, clinicians began to recognize that these traditional physical signs had shortcom­ings.3 In 1927, Cabot wrote that only about 5% of patients with emphysema at autopsy were recognized during life and that, of patients diagnosed with emphysema during life, only 25% actually had it at autopsy.4 Spirometry, invented in 1846 and used in many forms (stethometers, pneumatometers, doppelstethograms) to supplement bedside diagnosis, gained favor because of these deficiencies and eventually became the favored diagnostic tool.
is chapter compares the traditional physical signs with spirometry. As a general rule, the most accurate physical signs are also infrequent, occurring in fewer than 50% of affected patients, usually only those with the most severe disease. mild and moderate disease that is hidden from the eyes of the bedside examiner but is detectable by spirometry.
