Diminished Breath Sounds - EMTprep.com

[@jnurse3766]

Diminished lung sounds are almost no sound or dull. There is quite a lot of air movement in these sounds

[@celestenelson6375]

Totally agree.

Was just going to say that's sounds like nice vesicular breath sound😅

[@migueldeleon118]

I was like damn alot of my pts were low key dying

[@tenzinlhak12]

Causes- emphysema, heart failure, COPD, injury, pneumothorax, pleural effusion

[@BicMichuM]

Arent those normal sounds? Sounds like air movements...but i could be wrong

[@davidvalle3068]

The inhalation is longer than the exhalation, so its diminished on the exhalation

[@samiullahnawaz336]

Normally Inspiration is 2 times expiration

Sound like my mom she has copd but i think it turning into emphysema because her breathing and coughing getting worse

[@noteasy96]

These sound is likely normal

[@skybluesam01]

Is the diminished element the fact that the inhalation breath is so short and sharp?

[@evaafif7239]

No, it's no necessary .
In diminish breathing sounds that's maybe indicate reduce in an efficacy of inhalation so reduce air entrance or indicate reduce efficacy of exchange process itself due to pneumonia, lung collapsed or even emphysema , and this two mechanisms are consider separately ( Don't be confused ) .
( In old textbook the decrease in air entrance was assessment with efficient of exchange in alveolar pockets , but this mistake has been corrected to ignore the relation between these two mechanisms .
For Example : in pneumonia the air entrance is intact whereas the exchange and efficacy of respiration itself is diminish!
