An investigation into student and qualified physiotherapists description of lung sounds
The ability to accurately describe lung sounds were tested on 146 subjects (qualified physiotherapists from a tertiary care hospital and third, and fourth year students from three universities). The effect of increased clinical time as well as the nomenclature used was also investigated. The subject...
