I breathe however my doctor asks me to. Usually it's taking really big breaths through the mouth. That delivers good results for the examination.
When my lungs are being auscultated I breathe as deeply and fully as i can, open mouth for both inhale and exhale. I try my best to give the doctor a good loud earful of my strong athletic runner/swimmer lungs and I also try to keep the rhythm of the breaths slow but not too slow. Then for heart auscultation I try to keep my breathing as normal and gentle as I can to avoid obstructing the sound of my heart valves.
This topic is one of my favourite parts of auscultation. I always inhale and exhale through my mouth when I'm told by the doctor to take deep breaths unless told to breathe normal then it's normal breathing through my nose. I've always found it quite erotic watching a lady taking deep breaths with her mouth open, I think it adds to auscultation.
I have never really noticed, but I think I breathe in through my nose and breath out through my mouse. I'll need to pay attention to that the next time I am auscultated at a doctor's exam.
I was examined yesterday, and the female nurse asked to listen to my lungs. So she told me to take a deep breath every time I felt the stethoscope touch my back, and then to breathe out normally. I did all the breathing through my mouth ....purely because I've spoken at length about this to a good heart-friend (you know who you are ??) and I know how arousing he finds that. So that was all I could think about as she was stething my back, and I automatically did it all through my mouth because of that 😃
Damn you always find ways to make cardiophiles like myself aroused! Would have loved being the nurse there listening to you breathing in and out. 😃
My doctor instructs me to take a moderately deep breath through my nose and exhale though my open mouth. In that manner, I am auscultated thoroughly first on my back, the lateral areas from my posterior. For my anterior chest, I follow the same protocol of breathing while she listens everywhere as she did on my back. Following that, she again auscultates my lungs while I breather normally for over two minutes. She can do the anterior auscultation with me sitting up, or occasionally when supine. In addition to her thoroughness, one of the nicer aspects of the respiratory exam is that her other hand is always is always on my back, shoulder, or arm depending on my position and where she's listening at the time. About half the time, usually for my annual exam or when I'm having respiratory problems, she will also percuss my lungs and perform egophony auscultation.I believe she is that thorough because I have some long time cardiac issues that can be interrelated. Always good to get a healthy report.
I would have always said that I breathed in and out through my mouth, when I'm being listened to. However, it's something that I was conscious of when I was at the doctor a couple of weeks ago and I did all my breathing, including deep breathing, in and out through my nose.Maybe it's that if I'm there with a cold my nose is blocked, but this was with a very bad cough instead.
If they're listening to my lungs and ask me to take deep breaths I'll take a deep breathe through my nose and out through my mouth. When they're listening to my heart and tummy I'll breathe normally which is through my nose and out through my mouth.
Generally I inhale and exhale through the nose whenever stethed at annual.For normal cough and cold I go to GP. Then if I have a noseblock I breathe through mouth.
I usually breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth unless I'm instructed to do something dirrently by the doctor
They ask for deep breathing when the lungs are auscultated. During auscultation, the heart is sometimes even asked not to breathe.
My breathing becomes so shaky whenever the doctor asks to listen to my lungs.I usually breathe in through my nose and out through my mouth
In the customary way: inhale & exhale through the mouth. This is how past & present doctors have always directed. Inhaling in through the nose will not give a proper auscultation (only half).
I do whatever the doctor asks me to do. On my chest it's usually breath normally, and on my back it's normal and then deep breaths in and out through my mouth.
I breathe in an out through nose unless I have gone to Dr for bad cold with blocked nose. Then it's obviously in and out through mouth
I usually administer the auscultation. I like my patients to breathe slow and long from the stomach, making sure not to raise their shoulders up when inhaling. I want all the air filling up the belly. Open mouth breathing usually provides a deeper breath, but you can also breathe optimally through the nose if done slowly as well.
I always start to breathe beep cus I want to calm my pumping heart but doctor says: “Breath normal, I am listening to your heart” That makes my heart beating even faster… After that they ask me about tachycardia, my fast heart and other stuff
