Subject field(s)

Decreased or absent breath sounds. Breath sounds may be decreased in intensity without change in fundamental type as the result of several conditions. In some instances the breath sounds may be entirely absent. Fluid, air, or solid in the pleural space, all interfere with the conduction of breath sounds so that they will be decreased or even absent.

OBS

absent breath sounds: term recommended by the Medical Signs and Symptoms Committee.
