Basics of Lung Sounds.

The goal of this basics in lung sounds module is to improve auscultation observational skills. We focus on describing important breath sounds and in providing recordings of each. Many students find that waveform tracings aid in learning lung sounds; we have included dynamic (moving cursor) waveforms with each lesson. The anatomy pages use illustrations to reveal an example of each lung sound (anatomy not yet available on smartphones).

Editorial review by Dr. Barbara Erickson, Author and Editor.
