What exactly is respiratory excursion

[cowboy_carl]

I was studying and came across "assessment of respiratory excursion" I assume that it is a deviation of some kind, but is it in breathing pattern, symmetry, or something else?

[EmmaG, RN]

Assessment of the movement of the chest during respiration; is expansion bilateral and symmetrical, is there restricted mobility? That sort of thing.

what emmanuel said

it's the 'look' and 'feel' of look , listen and feel (or observe, auscultat, palpate if you are feeeling hi-faultin...)
