Vesicular breath murmur (AG)
Almost everyone has been wiretapped by a doctor in the area of the lungs. This is what doctors call auscultation of the lungs. What does this mean exactly and what does vesicular breath sound (AG) mean in this context?
What vesicular breath sound (AG) means
Once your doctor tells you you have vesicular AG, don't worry.
- It is the breathing that happens consciously and unconsciously. So it is a normal sound for the doctor to hear a vesicular AG. It arises when you inhale and exhale. Vesicular means vesicular.
- A long time ago medical professionals suspected that vesicular breathing originated in the so-called periphery (outer body area). That means, it would be the alveoli (alveoli) where this breathing sound would arise.
- It is now known that sounds are muffled in the central airways, through the chest wall and the pleura. Translated pleura means "rib" or "flank". Doctors also say pleura to it.
- Central breathing sound means that breathing in and out produces a sound that is medium to high frequency. Auscultation (eavesdropping) makes it audible through the centrally located airways.
Have you ever heard the saying "That affects me peripherally!" And ...
When your doctor wants to detect breathing sounds in the lungs, an auscultation is done. Abnormal, pathological and physiological noises can be heard.
This is what doctors understand by auscultation
- Auscultation of the lungs is nothing more than eavesdropping. So if you are bugged, the doctor will need a stethoscope. A diagnostic tool is considered to be a stethoscope. Doctors can eavesdrop on so-called sound phenomena. This also includes a vesicular breath sound (AG).
- If the lungs are auscultated (from the Greek "auscultare" - "to listen" or "to listen"), noises are produced. The doctor must now distinguish whether it is a normal AG (vesicular AG) or whether it is pathological, for example. In the best case, he has learned it and knows what he is hearing. Don't worry though, because he will be able to do that.
- However, there are alternative practitioners who have learned auscultation in a "quick run". You should therefore always ask how much experience the alternative practitioner has in the area and, if necessary, consult the conventional doctor.
Experts can auscultate the heart, including the baby's heart, as well as the abdomen, intestines and even blood vessels during pregnancy.
