Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a chronic, progressive, inherited, incurable disease


affecting exocrine (mucus-secreting) glands. It is transmitted as an autosomal
recessive trait and is characterized by major aberrations in sweat gland,
respiratory, and gastrointestinal functions.[newline][newline]Almost half of all
people with cystic fibrosis in the United States today are adults. In addition to the
condition of CF, these individuals may also present with comorbidities associated
with the normal aging process, including CF-related diabetes and brittle bones
(osteoporosis or osteopenia). Collaboration with specialists in CF care centers
can help to prevent or lessen the impact of these and other health problems.
[newline][newline]The techniques for a CF-related respiratory assessment include
inspection, palpation, percussion, and auscultation. Patients should be in the
seated position during the assessment. Begin inspection by observing the
patient's chest for color, shape, or contour, breathing patterns, and muscle
development. The color should be even and consistent with the color of the
patient's face. The shape or contour should have a downward equal slope
at the rib cage. The chest should be symmetric, with the transverse diameter
greater than the anteroposterior diameter.[newline][newline]Palpation is used to
detect areas of sensitivity, chest expansion during respirations, and vibrations
(fremitus). Use the palmar surface of the hands to palpate the anterior and
posterior thoracic landmarks in a sequential pattern to assess temperature,
moisture, muscular development, tenderness, or masses. The skin should be

warm and dry, with symmetric muscular development. Abnormal findings may
include cool or excessively dry or moist skin, muscle asymmetry, tenderness,
masses, and vibrations.[newline][newline]Chest expansion is determined by
placing the hands over the posterior chest wall, with the fingers at the level of T9
or T10, pressing together a small skin fold. When the patient takes a deep breath,
observe the movement of your thumbs. The thorax should expand symmetrically.
[newline][newline]Auscultation is used to detect airflow within the respiratory tract.
Ask the patient to breathe slowly and deeply through the mouth. Place the
warmed diaphragm of the stethoscope over the thoracic landmarks and
auscultate breath sounds in the same sequential pattern used for palpation.
Normally, breath sounds result from the free movement of air into and out of all
parts of the bronchial tree. Listen for the duration, pitch, and intensity of the
sounds.[newline][newline]Normal breath sounds vary over different parts of the
lungs. Bronchial sounds heard over the trachea and thorax, are high-pitched,
harsh sounds, with expiration being longer than inspiration. Bronchovesicular
sounds are heard over the major bronchi and are moderate, mixed sounds, with
inspiration equal to expiration. Vesicular breath sounds are soft, low-pitched
sounds, heard best over peripheral lung fields, are longer during inspiration, and
are short with expiration.[newline][newline]Although stertorous respirations,
stridor, and wheezes can be heard without amplification, crackles and pleural
friction rubs are usually heard with a stethoscope. If a productive cough occurs
during assessment of the thorax and lungs, the sputum should be assessed for
color, consistency, odor, and amount.
