What are the auscultation targets in assessing a pt?

Evaluate breath sounds. Normal: vesicular, decreased in obstruction, increased in consolidation (bronchophony) Rales/ Crackles (interstitial lung disease or filled alveoli) Wheezes (more prominent in expiration, narrowing of airways (spasm, obstruction, wall edema)) Rhonchi (gharghara, fluid moving in airway) pleural rub (abnormal rubbing of pleura) stridor (flow in narrowed upper airway like croup/ laryngeal edema)
