Rales are small clicking, bubbling, oF
rattling sounds in the lung. They are
believed to oceur when air opens closed
air spaces, Rales can be further
deseribed as moist, dry, fine, and
coarse. (Fluids in lungs)
Rhonehi are sounds that resemble
snoring. They oceur when air is
blocked o becomes rough through the
large airways. (Fluid in lungs)
Stridor is a wheeze-like sound heard
‘when a person breathes out (exhale).
Usually itis due to a blockage of
airflow in the windpipe (trachea) or in
the back ofthe throat.
‘Wheezes are high-pitched sounds
produced by narrowed airways. They
‘ean be heard when a person breathes
