It outlines the importance of monitoring vital signs and respiratory efforts, and highlights subjective questions to gather patient information about respiratory symptoms. The page describes the process of assessing signs like breathing patterns, lung sounds, and chest condition.

Bradypnea is less than 12 breaths per minute, and tachypnea is greater than 20 breaths per minute. Break up the assessment by listening to the anterior lung sounds and then the heart sounds and allowing the patient to rest before listening to the posterior lung sounds.

It is best to examine the precordium with the patient supine because if the patient is turned on the left side, the apical region of the heart is displaced against the lateral chest wall, distorting the chest movements.

The indentation and time required to rebound to the original position are graded on a scale from 1 to 4, where 1+ indicates a barely detectable depression with immediate rebound, and 4+ indicates a deep depression with a time lapse of over 20 seconds required to rebound.
