Wheeze or Rhonchi: What is the difference (Super simple explanation!)
Wheeze or Rhonchi - learn about the difference in this video.
Auscultation is part & parcel of pulmonary system examination. Lung sounds give important clues towards the diagnosis of pathology, therefore it is important to know different breath sounds and master them. It is important therefore to auscultate with a good quality stethoscope like Littman's and auscultation shall be done with cloths removed to avoid added sounds created by these.
Wheeze is a common finding heard in asthma, COPD, bronchiolitis.
Aim here is to differentiate between wheeze and rhonchi, which are sometimes used interchangeably.
