Physicians' ability to recognize adventitious lung sounds
Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 58, Issue 3, Page 866-870, March 2023., 2023 Abstract 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
