Understanding
Lung Sounds
3rd Edition
Steven
Lehrer, MD
Dr.
Lehrer's book-and-audio CD package guides readers through the sounds and skills of
chest auscultation. They get an easy-to-follow audio CD that presents
actual lung sounds and an accompanying manual that gives them the background to
understand what they hear. The reader will be better able to differentiate
between normal and abnormal noises, detect pulmonary disorders early, and help
plan a management strategy immediately. The 3rd Edition presents how to examine
patients by auscultatory percussion, frequency differences between adults and
children and the Fourier transformation method.
“The
content is timely but relatively timeless; it will not soon go out of date.”
