During a standard examination, the respiratory system is assessed through observation of the symmetry and effort of inhalation and exhalation. Auscultation (listening) is also commonly used. Less frequently, palpation may be used, as when assessing for areas of consolidation. Special assessments may include spirometry, radiology, arterial blood gases, pulse oximetry, and biopsy or culture.
