RESPIRATORY EXAMINATION STATION OSCEazy Coco LiOverview Steps to a respiratory examination Small Cases Common CXR SPOT DIAGNOSIS On examination, the patient has finger clubbing, reduced chest Pulmonary fibrosis expansion and bilateral fine inspiratory crackles at the lung bases. Swan neck deformity and swollen PIP joints are noted as well. An RTC patient was admitted to the ED. On examination, the patient Tension pneumothorax is tachypnoeic and cyanotic, with tracheal deviated to the left side. The left hemithorax is hyperreesonant to percussion with absent breath sounds and reduced chest expansion. Patient is haemodynamically unstable. On examination, a patient has coarse crackles in both lung bases that Bronchiectasis alter when coughing. There is a sputum pot and a LAMA at the bedside. There is evidence of finger clubbing. On examination, a patient has reduced breath sounds over the right Pneumonectomy side of his back. There is a scar seen under his axilla. There is tracheal deviation to the right side and reduced chest expansion.
