Welcome to Dr. Kate Brilakis' Learning Portal

  Lower Tract

 There is a thin area of muscle at the back of the Triangle of Auscultation so it is easier to hear respiratory sounds at this location with a stethoscope. To facilitate hearing respiratory sounds, (since the triangle of auscultation is covered by the scapula bone), you would ask patients to fold their arms across their chest as they bent forward. 

lung volumes:
​know IRV, Vt, ERV, and vital capacity
