For surface anatomy see Bates P.225-229 Summary : O %he apex oI each lung rises about 2 4 cm above the inner third oI the clavicle. O Anteriorly : the inIerior border starts Irom about % crosses the 6 th rib at the midclavicular line and the 8 th rib in the midaxillary line. O !osteriorly : %he lower level oI the lung is at the level oI the % to % 2. O ach lung is divided by the major ( oblique) Iissure into two lobes . O !osteriorly : A line drown down Irom % laterally and obliquely to the 6 th rib in the midclavicular line. O Anteriorly : Irom the 5 th rib at midaxillary line to 6 th rib at midclavicular line. O %he right lobe oI the right lung is Iurther divided into the right upper and the right lower lobes by the minor (horizontal) Iissure O %he minor Iissure runs Irom the 6 th rib at midaxillary line to the 4 th rib midclavicular line.
Positioning the patient : O &ndressed to the waist O Sitting at the side oI the bed
General : O atch the pt Ior signs oI dyspnia at rest. Is the pt in respiratory distress ? &se oI accessory muscles oI respiration. O Is there any speciIic pattern oI respiration ? Cheyne stokes pattern : hyperventilation intermittent with periods oI apnia. It is secondary to a delay in the brain chemoreceptors to rapid changes in blood gases. Seen mainly in brain injury , LVH and high altitude. Kussmaul breathing : deep rapid respirations . Is secondary to stimulation oI the respiratory centre. Seen in metabolic acidosis. Hyperventilation : !aradoxical respirations : abdomen sucks inwards with inspiration instead oI normally protruding outwards.
O Count the respiratory rate (should be around 4 / min) O Is the pt cyanosed ? &sually seen when the amount oI deoxyhemoglobin is more than 5 g/ ml oI blood in pt with normal Hb and more in pt with low Hb. So iI pt Hb is less than 5 then he will not be cyanosed. It may also be evident when the O2 saturation is less than 9 . Central cyanosis is seen in the tongue and it means a signiIicant cyanosis as the low O2 blood is present even in the larger arteries aIIecting areas which are normally well perIused. %his is why it is more signiIicant and it is always a sign oI hypoxemia. !eripheral cyanosis may be seen in areas oI the body where blood supply is reduced eg: lips and hands. Causes : Central cyanosis : - ecreased arterial O2 saturation : G O2 , lung dis , right to leIt shunt. - !olycythemia - Hb abnormailities : Meth Hb , Sulpha Hb !eripheral cyanosis : - All causes oI central cyanosis - xposure to cold - Reduced cardiac output - Arterial oI venous obstruction O May consider examining the pt cough and sputum O xamine the hands Ior clubbing . O xamine the hands Ior nicotine staining. O vidence oI arthritis O xamine the pulse. O xamine Ior Ilapping tremor: dorsiIlex the wrists with outreached arms and spread out the Iingers. May be seen in severe CO retention. O oes the pt have Hoarseness: May be caused by laryngitis , or involvement oI the recurrent laryngeal nerve Irom Ca or injury. O xamine the eyes Ior evidence oI Horner`s syndrome . May be seen with involvement oI the sympathetic chain Irom apical lung cancer. O xamine the nose Ior : polyps ( asthma) , engorged turbinates(allergic reaction) , and deviated septum . O xamine the mouth Ior central cyanosis. O xamine the % O xamine the teeth as may be a risk Iactor Ior aspiration pneumonia. O xamine the sinuses oI evidence oI sinusitis. amine the chest SPECT O Inspection : Shape and symmetry oI the chest : Barrel chest : increased A! diameter compared to lateral diameter. Seen in hyperinIlation . !igeon chest (pectus carinatum) : outwards bowing oI the sternum and costal cartilages. May be a sign oI childhood respiratory disease. Also seen as an isolated anomaly or Iamilial or with oonan syndrome,MarIan,. Funnel chest ( pectus excavatum) : localized depression oI the lower end oI the sternum. Causes similar to carinatum. Harrison`s sulcus : linear depression oI the lower ribs just above the costal margins at the site oI the diaphragm attachment. May be seen in severe asthma in children and in Rickits. Kyphosis and kyphoscoliosis .
O Inspection : lesions oI the chest wall: Scars Abnormal skin Subcutanious emphysema : Seen as a diIIuse swelling oI one side oI the chest and neck . Best Ielt than seen . seen in pneumothorax . !rominent veins : SVC syndrome. O Inspection : movement oI the chest wall: look or amount oI expansion and asymmetry oI expansion
!AL!A%IO: . O !alpation : Chest expansion : %humps should move at least 5 cm (degree oI expansion) Look Ior asymmetry O xamine the trachea : Ior location . %he trachea is shiIted towards lung Iibrosis , collapse , and aIter pneumonectomy. It is displaced away Irom : pleural eIIusion, pneumothorax, and ling mass. Also Ieel Ior a tracheal tug : inIerior movement oI the examining Iinger upon inspiration . It is a sign oI over inIlation.
O !alpation Iro the apex beat: May be diIIicult to palpate in severe hyperinIlation Is displaced just like lungs O !alpation : vocal (tactile):&se one hand to compare localized areas in both lungs . o it in Iront and the back .Causes are similar to vocal resonance O !alpation : oI ribs iI rib Iracture is considered.

O !ercussion oI lung Iields: !ercuss in similar areas both lungs between the ribs on`t Iorget to percuss the the supraclavicular spaces on`t Iorget to percuss in the axilla hen percussing poseriorly move the scapula out oI the way by asking the pt to move the elbows across the Iront oI the chest. !ercuss Ior the Hemidiaphragm positions : with the pt sitting , percuss the lower ends oI the lung resonance looking Ior dullness. Compare the two sides. %hey should move about 5-7 cm each . ormally they are equal or the right side is slightly higher by o-2 cm. II the leIt diaphragm is higher this is deIinitely abnormal and may be caused by paralyses oI the L side , a lesion below the L side or there is a lesion at the lower lobe oI the L lung. You may Iind that one oI the diaphragms is not moving adequately either because oI the paralyses or a lesion eIIecting its movement. !ercuss Ior liver dullness : may be displaced Irom hyperinIlation !ercuss Iro the cardiac dullness.

O Auscultation : Breath sounds :Quality oI the sounds : ormally vesicular breath sound are heard all over the chest .&sually louder and longer in inspiration with no gap between inspiration and expiration. Bronchial sounds : hollow blowing sounds . Generated Irom the airways . qual inspiration and expiration. gap between inspiration and expiration. &sually is a sign oI consolidation but may be heard over a pleural eIIusion or a collapsed lung. It is thought to be secondary to the Iact that the solid material inside the alveoli transmit sound directly to the larger airways leading to airway sounds at the periphery oI the lung instead oI the normally occurring air Iilled alveoli acoustic baIIles eIIect. O Auscultation : breath sounds : Intensity : O Auscultation : added sounds : heezes : which phase ? usually starts on expiration because airways usually dilates as the lung opens in inspiration, but iI present on inspiration it signiIies severe obstruction .Seen in signiIicant airway narrowing. It is a poor guide to the severity oI airway obstruction as it may be absent in severe obstruction . Localized wheezed may indicate a localized obstruction caused by compression eg: ca. Crackles : probably secondary to loss oI stability oI the small airways which collapses on expiration . arly inspiratory crackles may indicate suggest disease oI the smaller airways and indicate chronic obstructive lung disease. Late inspiratory crackles suggests disease oI the alveoli . %hey may be Iine like seen in pulmonary edema or harsh (Velcro) like seen in pulmonary Iibrosis. !leural Iriction rub : usually caused by inIlamed pleura rubbing against the lung . Indicated pleurisy. gophony : goat voice . %he (e) appears like (a) . %his is a sensitive sign Ior consolidation . hispering pectoriloquy : (Chest speaking) : II pt talks while you are listening you hear the exact words. Second most sensitive sign aIter egophony. Bronchophony : (bronchus sounds) : Away Irom the big airways you can hear bronchial speaking sound but without identiIying the exact words. O Auscultation Ior Vocal resonance : with consolidation you Iind increased vocal Iremetus . %he heart O Check the JV!. O !alpate Ior a right ventricular heave or liIt. O Listen to the pulmonary component oI the second heart sound.
