DEF

Tracheal breathing is characterized by increased duration of the expiratory sound, greater intensity of both expiratory and inspiratory sounds, and higher pitch of both sounds. The sounds have a definite tubular quality. There is usually a slight interval between the sounds of inspiration and expiration. Tracheal sounds are normally heard over the trachea and larynx and sounds closely resembling them are heard over the lower cervical vertebrae.

OBS

The term "tracheal breathing" was recommended by the Medical Signs and Symptoms Committee.
