I believe it's a reference to amphoric breath sounds associated

with lung cavities.

Frecuencia respiratória

Hope this helps,

& o,

Thanks very much. I have some medical dictionaries which are usually great

for the really technical stuff, but the everyday jargon and shorthand that

doctor's and nurses use in records is completely lacking, and is not

something I have dealt with much. You've been very helpful.

As far as I can understand it, soplo tubario is what is called in English

" bronchial breathing " . This is when I auscultate the chest of a patient who

has pneumonia and I can distinctly hear the sound of the air passing

through the bronchi or trachea, rather than the sound of air entering and

leaving the alveoli.

Si el tejido pulmonar se encuentra condensado por relleno de los

alvéolos, manteniendo los bronquios permeables, el aumento de

la densidad facilita la transmisión del sonido hacia la

superficie del tórax, lo que hace posible auscultar en la

superficie del tórax un ruido similar al traquebronquial o

incluso al traqueal (respiración soplante, soplo tubario), en

sitios donde normalmente sólo debería haber murmullo

pulmonar.

I agree with 's suggestions and have no idea about the remaining

abbreviations.

Best of luck,

Coilín.
