Product Description
"Auscultation Skills: Breath and Heart Sounds, Fourth Edition" is the only book-and-audio-CD product on the market that offers full coverage of heart and breath sounds from the simple to the complex and provides a comprehensive text explaining heart and breath sound fundamentals including basic anatomy and physiology, best auscultation locations, tips on how to identify each sound, and what to document. This product offers practicing nurses, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants a solid basis for recognizing and differentiating among abnormal breath and heart sounds to help them accurately interpret what they hear and then apply that knowledge toward a proper diagnosis and treatment regimen. The book is supplemented with an all-in-one CD that feature 46 tracks of breath sounds and 50 tracks of heart sounds, which can be listened to sequentially with the book or reviewed by the reader in the order of her choosing. The CD can be listened to in the car or on the computer; it can be downloaded to the computer and converted to MP3 files. Tips and alerts abound throughout the book's text to help manage optimal care. A glossary of commonly used terms and abbreviations and an easy-to-read chart of common disorders matched with their specific abnormal breath and heart sounds add to the book's utility.

Format:Paperback
This book and CD covers very comprehensively examination of chest plus chest auscultation. Some of the sounds are very similar so one needs a very good ear to separate some of them. The voice over is american which tends to be very repetative and can be boring but when played on a decent CD player/computer can be fast forwarded. I used it with an audience of 40 wiht a doctor giving a tlak on chest examination and it was well received

Great for students and nurses alike.

I bought this as a nursing student, 5 years ago, and never wrote a review for it. I love this product. In nursing school we are taught what different lung and heart sounds should sound like. However, reading what something sounds like and actually hearing it make all the difference. This CD breaks down different sounds nursing students and nurses should be familiar with. It's a good refresher for a nurse who hasn't had a patient with rales or hasn't heard a gallop in a while. I'd recommend this to nursing instructors, students, and nurses.
