Do any of you listen to your patient's heart & lungs at rest and then make your patient do some form of exercise and then auscultate again?
If so what sort of exercise and for how long?
I have asked patients to run on the spot for 5 minutes but she was quite fit and that wasn't really stretching aerobic capacity so I guess until out of breath my be a better way of doing it.
I'd be interested in your thoughts.
