Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Points on the Physical Examination of the Chest Spirometry, once much in vogue, seems now to have fallen almost into disuse. Yet the indications afforded by it are valuable, and the more so as they are capable of exact record. Perhaps one reason that it has lost favor is that, as generally practiced, it is inherently uncleanly An instrument that is blown into by numbers of people of all sorts and conditions, and in all stages of pulmonary disease, and that cannot conveniently be cleansed after each use, must soon become repulsively and dangerously contaminated. This may be avoided by having the patient breathe from the receiver, instead of into it. The receiver, properly balanced, is filled with air by drawing it up to its fullest height, and the patient, having emptied his lungs as completely as possible, inhales from the instrument until his chest is expanded to the utmost. The number of cubic inches of air withdrawn from the receiver is then read off from the scale. If the instrument is properly arranged, the results should not vary from those procured in the usual manner. Of course the scale should read from below upward, instead of from above downward. The chief usefulness of the spirometer, it appears to me, is in the indications it affords for pulmonary gymnastics. In no other way is the need for such exercises, in suitable cases, made so apparent, both to the practitioner and the patient, and in no other way can the good results be so readily demonstrated, and perseverance on the part of the patient secured. Moreover, the use of the instrument is in itself of no small value in correcting the very defects it brings to light. In fact, it is very common to find that a decided increase in the vital capacity, to use Hutchinson's term, follows upon the first few efforts to inflate the lungs to their fullest limit.

State of our present knowledge of the physical diagnosis of diseases of the respiratory organs, I have availed myself of the latest and most approved works on the subject.

This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diseases of the Chest and the Principles of Physical Diagnosis To write a practical book on the physical diagnosis of the heart and lungs in health and disease, has been the aim of the authors. We have attempted to omit everything not of practical diagnostic use, and to condense methods of secondary importance. More than is the custom has been written on the subject of diagnostic acoustics, because we believe that only through the comprehension of the laws of sound production and transmission can the results of percussion and auscultation be intelligently interpreted. We have endeavored to teach as much as possible by means of illustrations. Of these, many are photographs of frozen sections from the cadaver, previously hardened in formalin, so that the anatomic relations of the tissues remain as during life. We have found these specimens invaluable in our own teaching; and the book has been written in the hope that the photographic reproductions of our sections may be useful to others. We take pleasure in acknowledging our great indebtedness to Dr. George Fetterolf for the frozen sections; to Dr. J. Claxton Gittings for assistance in the preparation of the Section on Pediatrics; to Dr. Edward B. Krumbhaar for the Chapter dealing with the electrocardiogram; to Professor Richard Geigel, and to Dr. Charles M. Montgomery, from whose articles upon acoustics in diagnosis, much information has been gleaned. We are also indebted to Miss Eleanor A. Cantner for the production of some of our drawings. We are further under obligations to Professor William M. L. Coplin for permission to photograph numerous specimens in the Museum of Pathology of the Jefferson Medical College, as well as to Dr. David R. Bowen and to Dr. Henry K. Pancoast for our radiograms.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Examine the Chest: A Practical Guide for the Use of Students IN the following pages I have not aimed at writing an exhaustive treatise on auscultation and percussion, but merely an introduction to the examination of the chest by these and other methods. Each section is virtually based on lectures delivered by me at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, during the course of the demonstrations, which it has been my duty, as medical tutor, to give to the students during the last few years, by way of preparation for clinical work in the medical wards. I have therefore avoided all discussion of theory, and have adopted in the text, without argument, that theory in each case which appears to me on the whole to furnish the best explana tion of the facts.

Download or read book A Handbook of Physical Diagnosis written by Paul Guttmann and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook of Physical Diagnosis: Comprising the Throat, Thorax, and Abdomen It is, further, an essential part of a systematic pathological inquiry that a certain uniform order be Observed in the application of the different methods; the natural order is that first the general physical signs, and then the special, be taken up, as, without a knowledge of the former, the latter are apt to be misunderstood, and to lead to erroneous conclusions. The examination should begin, therefore, with the general inspection of the body; the practised eye often discovers in this way a multitude of signs, which not merely declare which of the organs is at fault, but fre quently reveal the nature and stage of the disease with absolute accuracy. Then only should the special examination be proceeded with. This ought never to be limited to the particular organs or parts concerning which the patient makes special complaint, as his sensations are often excited by purely adventitious circumstances. In the graver class of cases the condition of all the organs must be ascertained; the physician thus fre quently lights upon disorders of whose existence the patient, from the absence of subjective symptoms, had no conception, or complications are discovered without the knowledge of which a true understanding of the nature of the disease, or the formation of a sound diagnosis, is impossi ble. The pathology of the thoracic and abdominal organs presents nu merous examples of the intimate relation which the various diseases of these parts bear to each other, and of the importance of keeping this pathological connection before the mind in forming an opinion as to the origin and nature of the morbid process under investigation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Diseases of the Chest and on Mediate Auscultation To estimate fairly the correctness of M. Laennec's statements, we ought, also, to take into account his vast experience, and his unequalled practical tact, which was the admiration of every one who had opportunities of observing his examinations. In no case, even the most Obscure, did he shrink from pronouncing his opinions, and fixing his diagnosis; and rarely indeed was he mistaken. These circumstances ought to make his successors long hesitate before they call in question the correctness of his statements, even although they should fail to verify them, by repeated experience; and incline them rather to doubt their own capacity in exploring, and the accuracy or acuteness Of their perceptive powers, than the fidelity of the records which he has bequeathed to them.
