This document summarizes the physical exam findings for four different lung conditions: right pleural effusion, left lung collapse, air space filling/consolidation, and pneumothorax. For each condition, it lists changes to breathing movements, tracheal placement, and auscultation findings including percussion notes, breath sounds, vocal resonance, and tactile fremitus that help diagnose the condition.

Right pleural effusion
• Chest movement may be reduced on affected
side • Trachea deviated away from affected side (if large) • Findings over affected area: • Percussion note - dull • Auscultation - reduced breath sounds • Vocal resonance - reduced • Tactile fremitus - reduced left lung collaps • Rreduce expansion at left side • Trachia shifted to left side • Decrease vocal fremitus • Dull percussion note • Diminished breath sound • Decrease vocal resonance air space filling, acinar, alveolar pattern (Consolidation): May be reduced movement on affected side Trachea central Tactile fremitus over area increased Findings over affected area: Percussion note - dull Auscultation – bronchial Breathing, then crepitation Vocal resonance over area is increased Pneumothorax Chest movement may be reduced on affected side Trachea may be deviated Findings over affected area: Percussion note - hyper- resonant Auscultation - reduced breath sounds Vocal resonance - reduced Tactile fremitus - reduced
