Respiratory Examination,clinical skills online

st Georges, University of London have hosted an excellent collection of clinical examination skills videos useful for all medical students and doctors prepairin for clinical exams like mrcp plab and usmle.
i would especially recommend these videos for mrcp candidates taking their paces exam for two important reasons.
1- unlike most of other clinical examination videos which is mostly from USA institutes these videos shows the british style of clinical examinations
2- videos length are mostly 6 minutes an this exactly the time allowed in paces for examination of case that why you follow exactly the details of examination in your actual exam without the fear of running out time.
3- it has the only detailed history taking skills videos available on the web and this is immensly helpful in paces station 2.

1.Tapping the chest is known as percussion. Ironically, this is based on the way the beer barrels were percussed to check the level of beer left. Simmilarly, if there is fluid in the pleura one can diagnose this by means of tapping.

2. The second part, just by looking at somebody breathing, one can diagnose so any problems, for example, if there is irregular movement of the sides while breathing will give us an idea if there is pneumonia or fluid in the lungs.

I think he did it separately keeping in mind what is expected in the MRCP exam. Due to time constraint, it is best to do the I, P, P, and auscultation anterior first then follow the steps posteriorly. This may also cause less inconvenience to the patient by not going back and forth literally.

@chr767 He was checking for abnormalities.

[xantintg]

what does taping their back do? Aslo when they are breathing in and out what exactly are you looking for?

[ulyanovsk33]

Very good presentation in comfortable enviroment, but i wana ask why you did anterior and posterior chest examination separately .

[fubaraye]

He was checking the temperature of both hands

@chr767 Yeah ... that's what I was wondering. Do you suppose it was some kind of Cap Refil test?
