“…Although the ILSA proposed only 2 terms to describe intermittent sounds, (6) 20 different terms were used. The wide range of terms used to describe intermittent sounds was also demonstrated in the two studies previously cited.…”

“…(10)(11) This wide range of descriptions, lacking clear definition criteria and well-defined bibliographical references, not only makes pulmonary auscultation subjective, but also impedes the teaching process and makes it difficult to draw comparisons between the semiological data extracted from scientific publications. According to the ILSA nomenclature, (6) intermittent sounds are classified as fine and coarse rales. Fine crackles are produced by the serial aperture of previously closed airways.…”

“…The terms used to describe adventitious sounds in pulmonary auscultation were classified as appropriate or inappropriate according to the terms established by the International Lung Sounds Association (ILSA) (6) : continuous sounds (wheezing and rhonchi) and intermittent sounds (coarse and fine rales). The percentage of terms used appropriately was compared among the different regions of Brazil, and among the different medical specialties.…”

“…Both of these determinations were based on the information provided for the first author of each article. Data were also compared between two periods (1980-1987 and 1988-2003), with the objective of evaluating the impact of the ISLA-approved nomenclature, disseminated in 1987, (6) on the use of pulmonary auscultation terms by Brazilian physicians.…”

“…(2)(3)(4)(5) This motivated specialists from several countries to meet in 1985 in order to standardize the nomenclature, aiming to simplify it, as well as to include new concepts in pulmonary auscultation. (6) Since that time, new pulmonary auscultation terms have become prevalent in the international literature. (7)(8)(9) In Brazil, the impact that these terminological modifications have had on medical practice remains unknown.…”

Objective: To evaluate the appropriateness of the use of auscultation terminology in Brazilian respiratory diseaserelated medical journals published between January of 1980 and December of 2003. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted, evaluating three medical journals: the Jornal de Pneumologia (Journal of Pulmonology), Jornal de Pediatria (Journal of Pediatrics) and Revista Brasileira de Medicina (Brazilian Journal of Medicine). Original articles and case reports about respiratory diseases were selected, and auscultation terminology was extracted from these articles. The appropriateness of terms used to describe adventitious sounds was assessed. Results: We found that the inappropriate use of terms was more frequent when intermittent sounds were described than when continuous sounds were described (87.7% versus 44.0%; p = 0.0000). No significant difference was observed between the inappropriate use of terms by pulmonologists and that observed for other specialists (56.5% versus 62.0%; p = 0.26). In addition, there were no significant differences among the various regions of the country or between the periods prior to and after the dissemination of international nomenclature. Conclusion: Inappropriate use of pulmonary auscultation terms describing adventitious sounds remains common and widespread in Brazilian medical publications.

Background Lung auscultation is an important tool for diagnosing respiratory diseases. However, the ability of observers to recognize respiratory sounds varies considerably and depends on the sound. The present study aimed to assess the auscultatory skills of healthcare professionals and medical students. Methods A total of 295 physicians (185 pediatricians, 69 pulmonologists, and 41 physicians of general/internal medicine and subspecialties), 55 residents, and 50 medical students participated in the survey. They listened to five audio‐recorded respiratory sounds and described them in free‐form answers. Results The rates of correct answers were 55.2% for fine crackles, 74.5% for coarse crackles, 72.2% for wheezes, 18.75% for squawks, and 11.25% for pleural friction rub. The medical specialty was correlated with the correct answers and both pediatricians and physicians of general/internal medicine and subspecialties recognized fewer sounds compared with respiratory physicians (odds ratio [OR]: 0.37; confidence interval [CI]: 0.22–0.62; p < 0.001 and, OR: 0.47; CI: 0.22–0.99, p = 0.048, respectively). Years of experience were negatively correlated with the number of correct answers (OR: 0.73; CI:0.62–0.84; p = 0.001). Conclusions Gaps remain in both terminology and recognition of lung sounds among a wide population of Greek physicians. Less experienced physicians perform better on lung auscultation, indicating that continuing education with critical feedback should be offered.
