[bodhisattvascott]

[tactfulcoyote]

WTF!! thats not Rhonchi!

[timmyy021604]

Ok, it seems like a lot of people are disagreeing that this is definately not ronchi. I am a Paramedic student and I heard this lung sound yesterday on one of our patients that we were called to, most likely were in an acute pulmonary edema attack. So I just want to ask what is the correct intereptation of this lung sound please.

[ROCKANARCHY666]

@timmyy021604

sounds like grunting to me... i hear it too on the chf patients sometimes.

[sunilsiddiraj]

thank you verryy much dr :-)

[nicnlac]

Terrible interpretation of rhonchi. I am a nurse and this does not sound like rhonchi.

[hitloronline]

not ronchi

[Vyse500]

this sounds pretty vesicular to me

[aslswimmer1]

Definitely not Rhonchi...Rales or crackling is heard at the end if the inspiration. Rhonchi is kind of a bubbling wet sound heard through out (sounds like rales, but more pronounced and not only at the end of taking a breath in).

[notNEWW]

This is not rhonci..... Rhonci are rales/crackles that improve with cough ( decrease in rumble post cough ) rhonci is caused by excessive mucus production. Not fluid (pulmonary edema) or lobar collapse (atelectasis). It is purely mucus. Crackles are caused by fluid (pulmonary edema) and/or atelectasis

[docmg11]

cracles and rales are the same thing...they sound like radio static..due to secretions/fluid in small airways...usually heard on inspiration

rhonchi are totally different and so are wheezes

[1dustycat]

this is not Rhonchi - there is no rumble

[J3RSii]

can iask doesnt this sound more like rales?

[lvwarrior1117]

so its caused by chronic mucus in the airway?

[amerenio]

The reputable pulmonologists and other PhD's I studied under said just get rid of "rhonchi" from your vocabulary because nobody can agree on what the word "rhonchi" means.

[ScolarshipBoy1984]

ur an amazing guy i got all my sounds wron when i was being evaluated by my teacher in front of my atient i m sad i dint hear this before

[celticfreedom76]

the rhonchi is the crackles not the wheeze

[99247006]

or more accurately gurgling

[99247006]

Rhonchi is totally different than wheezes. Wheezes result from an airway restriction whereas rhonchi is from accumulated secretions rattling in the airways.

[willykid83]

thank you

[Saladzingers]

Thanks for this. Currently people seem to be saying "rhonchi = wheeze", but then you have to split it not only into polyphonic and monophonic wheeze but "sibilant and sonorous" wheeze, because clearly this sound (instantly recognisable as that "you've got a tiger in your chest!" sound) is clearly different from the musical sound of wheeze. Given that it's caused by different things (inflammation/bronchospasm/oed­ema vs. secretions) I don't see why it helps to try to merge them!

[Sugahbabie]

The "um" doesn't come with it, lol. I know this because I have moderate asthma, and when combined with pneumonia, i heard both wheezes and rhonchi in myself.. and there's no "um".. just a low rumbling

[Drparth2008]

Yep, for better clarification just listen this and the normal lung sound one after the other and you will get it...

[BESTATONIA]

THE SAME QUESTION

[Bonitapplebum72]

Thank you Drparth, was the "um" sound heard during expiration the sound of Rhonchi?

[amerenio]

Good question. I reckoned the elastic "um" sound was it, too.
