A member asked:
Where & what lung sounds are most lassociated with developing aspiration pneumonia in kid with trach?
17 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Crackles: Aspiration pneumonia is most commonly characterized by the sound of 'crackles' in the lung bases. This crackling sound is more commonly heard in the right lung as the the trachea bifurcates at a sharper downward angle toward the right lung in comparison to the left, and is more susceptible to collecting contents of aspiration.
