@@mommabutterfly496 you can pick up wheezing or breathing issues which would need to be assessed further. Asthma may be identified, depending on the patient’s other symptoms, history & response to treatment.
The pop rock sound for pneumonia is super spot on. I once had pneumonia for a month and just didnt realize how sick I was until my breathing got so bad, you could easily hear the kind of chopped up sounding breathing I had even if you were just sort of close to me. So I finally went to the doctor and I guess my lungs sounded so bad, he rounded up some people new to medicine (i dont remember if they were med students/nursing students or interns) and asked if they could listen to my lungs. So I had to sit there as like 7 or 8 people took turns listening to me breathe. It was... an experience for sure lol.
I'm not even close to being a medical professional but I'm the kind of person that wants to know everything about everything so I really like your channel because you explain these kinds of things 😄
Except wheezing may not always be present in asthmatics.. some of us end up sounding clear while severly struggling, or other times its like a varying degree of crackle due to acutely severe constriction, viruses like RSV or rhinovirus, allergies and other environmental factors.❤❤
I have asthma, and my wheezing sounds different from when *I* hear it, to when the doctor does. This was super interesting and very insightful! I always wondered what doctors/nurses could hear when using the stethoscope!
I’ve noticed if my asthma is bad enough and I have my ears covered (usually with headphones), it sounds similar. I have exercise induced, and my headphones are noise blocking, so the sound comes out similar to the stethoscope. I had to learn that one due to two close calls while working out. I’m so used to the high pitched whistle that I didn’t notice just how bad it was. My brain processed breathing heavy from the workout, and I didn’t hear the whistle sound. I’d say give it a try sometime, but that would be very ill advised. 😅
Nursing student and you caught me. Did health assessment in the ICU and had no idea what I was hearing, if I was hearing it right, etc. maybe tips on how to find the correct points on different body sizes/shapes could be helpful! Thank you! ❤
In my country nurses never do this. Only docs. I am from Eastern Europe. I see in a lot of videos from US nurses doing a lot of things only doctors do around here. Sometimes makes me think that in the US they prefer nurses to so this things because they are paid less than doctors. What a shame.
Not only are you a nurse; you are also s teacher. It is heartwarming to read the grateful responses from so many medical professionals and clients. Your ability to use analogy to simplify and classify these sounds is a real gift. It is great to see evidence that there can be value in social media. You have a big future ahead of you.
You got this!!! After a few go arounds with patients it gets easier until one day you can start noticing when someone is a heavy smoker before they say anything.
I’m studying for my NCLEX at the moment and this has always been my weakness in school. These are way better descriptions than I have ever been given. Thank you!❤️
This is fantastic. As a volunteer EMT, it is difficult to get the reps in to become familiar with breath sounds. I just wrote down your analogies because they are so simply to follow and understand. Thank you!
I had a mild cold when I went in for stomach surgery and the next morning my nurse used a stethoscope to check my lungs. You didn't need a stethoscope to hear the crackling, it was clear as day. I'll never forget the look on her face, it was pure panic. I reassured her that I just had some mucus build up overnight and my abs just hurt far too much to be able to get a couple good coughs to clear it.
My lungs have sounded like what your describing for the past 6 months and my doctors just keep trying things and nothing's rlly working it's mainly cause I had pneumonia, the flu, and covid within the last year. And I have asthma. But nothing's getting better 🤷♀️
@@myarivard2087exactly what i have. crackling in my lungs that i can feel everyday, i have asthma too. i choke when i cough it bc its so thick. then a few minutes later more comes back. had pneumonia over 5 times sns covid once. i have no energy when this happens and its been years 🥲
@@myarivard2087In my experience when it comes to difficulty coughing up mucus in your lungs, having a humidifier or a warm damp towel helps clear things up.
Nursing student who was tired of the electronic sounds they tried teaching during Covid because they did NOT sound correct. Sooooo thankful for this post and many of your others as they are helping me to learn!!!!
I once heard faint crackles that everyone else denied being able to hear a chest x-ray was done and the person had double pneumonia. Don't doubt yourself.
Honestly, this would've been so much more helpful in my EMT classes... thank you for putting it out there for everyone else who can benefit from it now!
Wheezing can also be a sign of asthma! I’ve had asthma ever since I was a baby, I have recently grown out of the severity of it, but on certain occasions it will act up, such as in cold weather, exercise or being sick with the flu or any other viruses. Always make sure to check up on your Child if they show signs of difficulty breathing, asthma can be life threatening if not properly treated! Stay safe 💕👍
@@SharonRepici I’m aware, I’m just sharing my personal experience as a child that had asthma. Asthma can also be very deadly if left untreated, as a child I almost died during the annual Terry fox run because teachers didn’t know any signs of an asthma attack. I had to be driven home by a teacher cause I missed my bus and back then children didn’t have cellphones, and as a young child I didn’t know my mothers phone number. Of course any sickness as a child can be deadly, but asthma has been getting common among children and it’s important to know the signs if your child is possibly suffering from asthma, because death by asthma attack is painfully excruciating. My parents thought I had croup, but we visited a specialist and he diagnosed me with asthma, and an inhaler I needed to take daily, that man saved my life.
@@SharonRepici I also want to educate children and parents about asthma, as it’s not taken seriously most of the time. As a Child I was forced to partake in physical activities, and was pushed beyond my limit. My lungs often closed on me and I was left suffocating because teachers didn’t take it seriously, they took my inhaler away from me and locked it in the office. Whenever I couldn’t breathe I had to run to the office and beg the desk lady for my inhaler. I’m definitely not trying to say that any sign of difficulty breathing is JUST asthma, it can be any sickness or disease. I mentioned it because it wasn’t brought up in this video, and as someone who has suffered with it all my life I wanted to mention it. I am so glad that people today are more educated on illnesses, as when I reached Highschool I was able to carry my inhaler with me at all times. But if people weren’t so blind to many other illnesses, people wouldn’t have to suffered what I went through as a child.
Brilliant. Sometimes it’s so hard to describe them when you’re teaching so this is just awesome.💜🙏🏻 I’m an Australian RN (27yrs) & I’ve been sharing your reels with my niece in 2nd year nursing. Thank you😊
My daughter had pneumonia in her right lung last year (she told everybody when she got back to school that she had ammonia in her lung 😬🤣) and I remember the doctor saying "OH! Pop rocks over here!" when he was listening to her right side. I thought he was just trying to be silly to make us smile because I was a nervous wreck. Seeing my child fight for every breath was the scariest moment I've ever had with her. And that ER doctor had an amazing bedside manner that helped put us at ease and gave us hope that things would be alright! ❤
Retired nurse and I had a heck of a time learning to hear bp's, I'd end up holding my breath, lol. Keep practicing, it'll get easier, but you're doing well!
I never leave comments but this is a great video! You made it so easy to remember and I’ve watched like 40 videos like this before but now I understand
I’m 15 right new and knew a few of these, I’d love to become a doctor when I’m older, I was looking into pulmonary for a while and that’s when I started researching stuff like breathing sounds! I’ve now decided and probably go into Oncology, but it was so fun to learn these!
I was honestly confused why we had to do the breathing checkups and now it’s summed up pretty well- thank you! Never knew there was a difference when I have my allergies-
So crazy to me that the lungs change so much when you're sick, i always thought it might just sound "a bit off" when you got inflammation, allergies etc. but didnt think it would sound THAT different!! :0
As a nursing student we learn breath sounds and reading the qrs complex, what I did not expect was to memorize the process of research and the many forms they take on in my first semester.
As a retired paramedic after 20 years you are so spot on
As a brand new medic of 8 days we meet each other here Lmao 🤣 greetings OG
Always wonder wonder what they heard when i was a kid and had asthma.
@@teddybundy3425Me too 🤣
@@teddybundy3425Same! I was actually just about to ask what it sounds like lol
thought you said the r slur at first omg i need sleep
This is so cool! I’ve always wanted to know what doctors hear and look out for when they listen to lungs. Thank you!!
Same !
it's night for me and this is really scary.
This! I never thought to look it up, since I never have breathing issues unless my allergies are out of whack. Interesting to know!
when I go to the doctors I ask to use the stethoscope myself to hear
They Also listen to heart sound
Old retired nurse here. You got it dear.👵💕
forgot rales.
@@dreamsrmadeofgood pick up. The rest are great though😉😷
Can you really tell if a person has asthma by listening to breath sounds?

Your not alone😂
me too!!! i have so many random facts in my brain😂😂and im happy theres a lil community here for us in this thread
Yay! Our li'll community 😍✊
Wheezing is often asthma as well. This was very handy. Thank you

We think you’ll be multiple things whenever I had bronchitis I was wheezing so bad I had to use an inhaler like every hour or two
Yep wheezing is also usually allergy related
True when my allergies get worse I get asthma
You're pretty good at helping the brain comprehend this stuff. Thank you

Wooow yes I have asthma too and I wheeze so loud lol 😂
Great visual to remember each sound! A picture is worth a thousand words!!

As a retired nurse, described perfectly. Took me a bit too

Phenomenal description 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Wow this was mind blowing and gave me goosebumps!
Listening to the different patterns of breathing is very cool.
Did anyone else find this calming or is it just me?
And I’ll be using this for the rest of nursing school. Thank you
Excellent audio examples. I needed this refresher. Thanks
This actually helped since I’m currently going to EMT Academy

Thank you
I luv this one
These sounds are actually really relaxing 😌
Thanks this is great tips
Saving this beauty for when I go to nursing school. Thank you, you are amazing.❤
But also why was watching this so soothing? Is it just me ??? I have it on repeat.
it is extremely scary if it's night time
I love listening to this too. I think it's the fact that we're listening to human breath that makes it sound so soothing
me too was looking for this comment
Listening to anothers breath can make you sleepy and relaxed !
Welcome to the power of ASMR
Thank you for this
I love this young lady so much, she is the best

OMG I need this for my upcoming nursing year! Thank you for this amazing information
I LOVE that this answered my questions on what y’all are listening for and what it actually sounds like! This is why I love science.
That's really amazing , with photos you add
As somebody who used to have pneumonia, this is really relatable. Minus the part of being a doctor
Interesting how social media is making it more interesting to learn about the human body. Random fact that I'm glad to learn.
Thank you for this I hope the more medical knowledge spreads to the non medical crowd will help people understand what's not normal
This is so fascinating! Thanks for sharing!

I find it cool that it's the auditory representation of how each of these feel. Which seems obvious but idk I think it's cool to hear a feeling.
Wow! That was fascinating! Thx - I'm going to ask my doctor what he hears in 2 weeks (my yearly checkup)!
I used to have chronic bronchitis as a kid so I know that fine crackle breath all too well, it tickles your lungs
