"Tight" Lung Sounds


Recommended Posts

Anthony, I think you're reading too much into how people use the word "tight." It doesn't describe a particular lung sounds; rather, like others have said, it describes reduced airflow (reduced tidal volume) and wheezing due to constricted bronchioles. If, as you say, you can't hear wheezing in half of your asthma patients, try listened very carefully to some other parts of the lung. Also, junk that $5 scope that Care gives you. :lol:
