  • Lung Auscultation – Adventitious Breath Sounds

    Adventitious breath sounds are abnormal sounds heard during the auscultation. That represents all the sounds other than normal breath sounds or vocal resonance. Their nomenclature is very ambiguous and confusing and vary greatly from physician to physician. This can lead to misinterpretation and possibly medical errors. Clear and united nomenclature is therefore of great importance.
