심장 소리를 듣기 위해 청진기를 사용하는 능력과 정상 및 비정상적인 심장 소리를 구별하는 능력은 모든 의사에게 필수적인 기술입니다. 가슴에 청진기의 올바른 배치는 닫는 심장 판막의 소리에 해당합니다. S1과 S2 : 심장에는 두 가지 주요 소리가 있습니다. 첫 번째 심장 소리 (S1)는 혈액이 심실에 들어간 후 모성 및 트리쿠스 피밸브 (대상 동맥 판막)가 닫히면서 발생합니다. 이것은 systole의 시작을 나타냅니다. 두 번째 심장 소리(S2)는 혈액이 심실을 떠난 후 대동맥 및 폐 밸브(반달 판막)가 닫히면 실소 끝에 전신 및 폐 순환 시스템에 진입하게 된다. 전통적으로 소리는 “lub-dub”로 알려져 있습니다.
심혼의 오서큘레이션은 청진기 가슴 조각의 다이어프램과 종 부분을 모두 사용하여 수행됩니다. 다이어프램은 가장 일반적으로 사용되며 고주파 소리 (예 : S1 및 S2)와 승모 역류 및 대동맥 협착증의 중얼거림에 가장 적합합니다. 다이어프램은 가슴 벽에 단단히 눌러야 합니다. 종은 저주파 소리 (예 : S3 및 S4)와 승모 협착의 중얼거림을 가장 잘 전달합니다. 종은 가벼운 압력으로 적용되어야합니다.
Auscultation of the heart remains one of the fundamental skills for any clinician to master, and it provides vital diagnostic clues to many cardiac abnormalities. Learning the correct technique for auscultation is essential in order to distinguish the normal from the pathological. All cardiac areas must be auscultated in a structured and methodical fashion. The physical findings should be interpreted with respect to the cardiac cycle, and the intensity, duration, pitch, and timing of each sound should be noted. It is essential to memorize the anatomical landmarks where the stethoscope should be placed on the patient's chest, and always examine the patient in a quiet environment. It is important to listen for at least 5 sec, while the patient is breathing normally, to avoid one of the common mistakes made during the physical exam – not allowing adequate time to listen to the heart sounds. Physicians must be familiar with their stethoscopes and engage both the diaphragm and the bell during the heart auscultation.
Proficiency in the use of a stethoscope to listen to heart sounds and the ability to differentiate between normal and abnormal heart sounds are essential skills for any physician.
The heart has two main sounds, S1 and S2. The first sound – S1- occurs as the mitral and tricuspid valves close, after blood enters the ventricles. This represents the start of a systole. The second heart sound – S2 – occurs when the aortic and pulmonary valves close, after blood has left the ventricles to enter the systemic and pulmonary circulation systems at the end of a systole. Together, they sound as “lub-dub”… “lub-dub”.
In this video, we’ll first review the surface landmarks for auscultation, and then we’ll go through the essential steps for this exam. The discussion related to the abnormal heart sounds such as murmurs and gallops will be covered in a separate video of this collection.
Let’s begin by reviewing the surface landmarks for auscultation. As discussed,
The aortic area corresponding to the aortic valve is along right sternal edge of the 2nd intercostal space, abbreviated as the 2nd ICS. Similarly, at the left sternal edge of the same ICS is the pulmonic area associated with the pulmonic valve. Travelling down the left sternal edge, in the 4th or 5th ICS is the tricuspid area corresponding to the tricuspid valve. And in the 5th ICS along the mid-clavicular line is the mitral area linked to the mitral valve.
Now that you’re familiar with the landmarks, let’s review the sequence of steps for this exam. Before starting the procedure wash your hands thoroughly and make sure that the stethoscope has been cleaned with a disinfectant wipe.
First, familiarize yourself with the stethoscope chest piece. The auscultation of the heart is performed using both – the diaphragm and the bell. The diaphragm is best for high frequency sounds, such as S1 and S2. The bell best transmits low frequency sounds, such as S3 and S4.
Begin by ensuring that the area to be examined is exposed, and request the patient to lie down at a 30-45° degree angle on the exam table. Before placing the stethoscope, a good rule of thumb is to locate the 2nd ICS by palpating for the Angle of Louis, which is at the level of the 2nd ICS. Next, place the diaphragm at the right sternal edge of this ICS, which is the aortic area. Listen at each auscultation spot for at least 5 seconds to ensure that you’re not missing any subtle sounds. In addition, throughout the exam ask the patient to breathe in and out, because in presence of an abnormal sound, the timing in the respiratory cycle can provide a vital diagnostic clue. While auscultating the aortic area, listen for S2, which represents the aortic valve closing. Next, move to the pulmonic area, which is on the left sternal edge of the 2nd ICS. Here, again you can clearly distinguish the second heart sound, which represents the pulmonic valve closure. Subsequently, using the diaphragm, auscultate the tricuspid area at the 4th or 5th ICS on the left sternal edge. Here, listen for the first heart sound due to the tricuspid valve closing. Lastly, place the diaphragm in the mitral area and listen for S1, which represents the mitral valve closure.
In addition to the four valve-associated landmarks, auscultation of the lungs and major arteries can provide essential information regarding the cardiovascular functioning. Using the diaphragm, auscultate at the base of the lungs to listen for any crepitations or crackles, which indicate pulmonary edema, a sign of heart failure. Next, with the bell, auscultate the carotid arteries. Frequently, a murmur that is present from the aortic valve may be heard in this area. Also, auscultate here for a bruit, which is a swishing sound produced by turbulent blood flow, a sign of carotid artery stenosis. Finally, to assess for peripheral vascular disease, auscultate for abdominal bruits at the aorta area, renal arteries, and femoral arteries.
You’ve just watched JoVE’s presentation on cardiac auscultation. The video reviewed important auscultation landmarks and illustrated how to perform the steps of this exam in a structured fashion.
Auscultation of the heart remains one of the fundamental skills for any clinician to master, and it provides vital diagnostic clues to many cardiac abnormalities. Therefore, learning the correct technique for auscultation is essential in order to be able to distinguish normal from pathological. As always, thanks for watching!
