Lungs percussion

Rigidity of the chest increases in patients with:

• lung emphysema

• paralytic chest

• bronchitis

• keeled chest

Weakening of vocal fremitus (voice tremor) can be found in:

• hydro- and pneumothorax

• thin chest

• pneumonia

• cavity syndrome

Intensification of vocal fremitus (voice tremor) can be found in:

• obstructive atelectasis

• pneumonia

• hydrothorax

• pneumothorax

Comparative percussion is used for:

• determination of the size of organs

• comparison of sounds on symmetrical points of the chest

• determination of shape of organs

• determination of borders of organs

Topographic percussion is used for:

• estimation of vocal fremitus (voice tremor)

• determination of size of organs

• comparison of the sounds on symmetrical points of the chest

• lungs auscultation

resonant clear sound is heard over:

• normal lungs
