AUSCULTATION

AUSCULTATION

1. IT CONSISTS OF THE AUDITORY EXPLORATION OF THE NORMAL OR NOT NOISES OF THE BODY

   • When the pitch or frequency of vibration is uneven, irregular with disharmonic tones, called noise. When the sound is harmonic it is musical.
     • OF THE SOUNDS THAT ARE HEARD, IT MUST BE CONSIDER:
       • tone
         • is the frequency of vibration, the highest or less elevation of the sound produced by higher or lower speed than the Healthy bodies.
       • Intensity
         • is the width or height of the vibrations. It is greater the greater the energy and lower the rigidity of the vibratory system.
       • Location
         • it is important to determine the site precise auscultation to which is added the spread (for example: murmurs)
