Hi everyone,

I just started nursing school a month ago and I'm having a hard time understanding the whole act of percussion with patients.

I have a test coming up soon for my skills class and I wanted to nail down some of these percussion tones by seeing if I could actually listen to a few examples on the internet.

Thus, I was just wondering if anyone knew of any good educational site or university page that might have something like that. If so, I'd really really appreciate it. I Just need basic examples of what resonance, hyperresonance, tympany, dull and flat sounds actually sound like.

Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Maybe try a google search. We were told that percussion is an art that comes with time. I practiced on my kids and my dogs. We practiced a lot on each other during assessment class.

Thanks for the advice. I figure it will take time (especially with me) and I will keep searching for any possible sites through google/yahoo. Thanks again.
