Vesicular breath sounds are soft and low pitched. These are the most commonly heard breath sounds.

Diminished vesicular sounds are less robust than vesicular sounds. These sounds can occur in patients who move a lowered volume of air, such as in frail, elderly patients or shallow breathing patients.

Bronchial sounds are heard most clearly over the trachea and the larger bronchial tubes. These sounds are characterized by a high-pitched, hollow quality and are typically louder during expiration than inspiration. They are normally not heard in peripheral lung areas, where breath sounds are expected to be softer and more vesicular. When bronchial sounds are heard in areas where they are not normally present, it may indicate the presence of lung pathology.


Where are bronchovesicular breath sounds best heard?

Bronchovesicular breath sounds are best heard over major airways, specifically in the areas of the anterior chest around the sternal border and between the scapulae on the posterior chest. These sounds occur in the central regions of the lung, where the bronchial and vesicular sounds converge.

What causes puerile breathing in children?

Puerile breathing is the characteristic bronchial-like breath sound that is heard when you listen to a child's chest with a stethoscope. Normal breath sounds in adults are vesicular, and a bronchial breath sound might signify a lung pathology. But it is thought to be normal in children because they have a thin chest wall compared to adults, which magnifies the breath sound all the way from the trachea, making it louder and more bronchial.

An abnormal sounds produced in the lungs as air moves through fluids of the bronchiole tree?

Air is normally able to pass through the bronchial tree normally is the bronchial tree is open via laminar flow. Breath sounds are heard during auscultation of the chest, using a stethoscope. Normal breath sounds are termed as vesicular breath sounds. However, in conditions such as a pleural effusion where there is air within the pleural cavity, the flow of air becomes disturbed. Therefore, there will be absent breath sounds and if the effusion is large, bronchial breath sounds will be heard which are both abnormal.
