No what are those!??

And they are commonly referred to as diminished, right? I had a patient with minimal wheezing in the middle lobes who after many deep breaths and a follow up assessment was completely clear. He was on 2L of o2 & in semi fowlers is that possible!?

No what are those?

They say the only stupid question is the one you never ask so here goes nothing... when auscultating lung sounds laterally, is it possible to hear bowel sounds (stomach, mainly, gurgling) while auscultating or am I wrong. Because it didn't sound like a crackle or pleural rub or anything... it sounded quite like a bowel sound square and simple. I wasn't too low wither I was above the nipple laterally hence why I was surprised to hear something like that. What made me believe it wasn't a crackle as well is the fact that it appeared and disappeared. is this possible? What could cause it!? also does anyone have any great resources on learning the specifics of lung auscultation techniques?
