Explanation:
The task of comparative percussion is to compare percussion
sounds over the lungs on the opposite parts of the chest, and also on
neighboring areas on the one side.
The technique of comparative percussion. The patient should be
in a comfortable posture and relaxed. The best position is standing or
sitting. Patients with grave diseases should be percussed in the lying
posture. The room should be warm and protected from external noise.
ercussion consists of setting up vibrations in the chest wall by
means of a sharp tap. The middle finger of the left hand (pleximeter
finger) is placed in close contact with the chest wall in the intercostals
space. A firm sharp tap is then made by the middle finger of the right
hand (plexor finger) kept at right angles to the pleximeter finger. Loud
percussion (with a normal force of taping) is used (Fig. 1).
All areas of the chest are percussed, that is, the front, both
axillary regions, and back.
