@medlearners02: 🫁 HEAR THE DIFFERENCE: NORMAL LUNG SOUNDS vs RHONCHI! 🔊 Can you recognize the difference between normal breath sounds and rhonchi? 👨⚕️🩺 🔹 Normal Lung Sounds: Clear, soft breath sounds with no added abnormal noises. 🔹 Rhonchi: Low-pitched, coarse, snoring or rattling sounds caused by secretions or mucus in the larger airways. They may change or disappear after coughing. 📌 Common Causes of Rhonchi: ✅ Acute bronchitis ✅ COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease) ✅ Pneumonia ✅ Bronchiectasis ✅ Excessive airway secretions and mucus accumulation 💡 Clinical Pearl: Rhonchi often suggest secretions or obstruction in the larger airways. Always correlate auscultation findings with the patient's clinical presentation. 🎧 Listen carefully, recognize the sound, and improve your clinical skills! 📚 Follow MED LEARNERS for more medical concepts, clinical examination tips, and educational videos. #MedLearners #LungSounds #Rhonchi #RespiratoryExamination #clinicalskills
