Vesicular - Normal 190 - Auscultation Lesson

On this page, we present vesicular breath sounds, which are soft and low-pitched with a rustling quality during inspiration and are even softer during expiration. These are the most commonly auscultated breath sounds, normally heard over most of the lung surface. They have an inspiration/expiratory ratio of 3 to 1 or I:E of 3:1.
