    Auscultation of the chest involves listening to breath sounds using a stethoscope. The patient takes deep breaths through their mouth while the doctor listens to each side of the chest starting at the lung apex, comparing both sides. Normal breath sounds consist of a longer, louder inspiratory sound immediately followed by a shorter, fainter expiratory sound.

    uth. Using the diaphragm of the stethoscope, auscultate the chest. Start at the apex of one lung, and compare one side to the other. Normal breath sounds are made of 2 sounds: an inspiratory sound followed immediately without a pause by an expiratory sound The inspiratory phase is normally longer and louder The expiratory phase is much shorter and fainter
