The nurse might be hearing wheezing or crackle sounds.

  • Atypical sounds produced by abnormal airflow through the lungs are called adventitious breath sounds.
  • These sounds can be heard alone or when a doctor listens to a patient's chest with a stethoscope, and can be caused by anything that alters the normal flow of air through the lungs.
  • Abnormal breath sounds can also be caused by non-clinical problems such as foreign bodies and can be the first sign of respiratory illness such as pneumonia.
  • A heart murmur is a hissing or hissing sound caused by rapid, erratic (turbulent) blood flow through the heart. Sounds can be heard with a device called a stethoscope. A typical heartbeat makes two sounds like "labdap" (sometimes called "labdap") when the heart valves close.

Therefore, there are many reasons for adventitious sounds.
