vesicular breath sounds bilaterally decreased


Explanation:
Vesicular Breath Sound

The vesicular breath sound is the major normal breath sound and is heard over most of the lungs. They sound soft and low-pitched. The inspiratory sounds are longer than the expiratory sounds. Vesicular breath sounds may be harsher and slightly longer if there is rapid deep ventilation (eg post-exercise) or in children who have thinner chest walls. As well, vesicular breath sounds may be softer if the patient is frail, elderly, obese, or very muscular.
. Absent or Decreased Breath Sounds

There are a number of common causes for abnormal breath sounds, including:

ARDS: decreased breath sounds in late stages

Asthma: decreased breath sounds

Atelectasis: If the bronchial obstruction persists, breath sounds are absent unless the atelectasis occurs in the RUL in which case adjacent tracheal sounds may be audible.

Emphysema: decreased breath sounds

Pleural Effusion: decreased or absent breath sounds. If the effusion is large, bronchial sounds may be heard.

Pneumothorax: decreased or absent breath sounds
