MODEL RELEASED. Percussion chest examination. A general practice doctor uses the technique of percussion to examine a man with a heart condition. The patient lies on a bed while his chest is tapped by the doctor. The quality of the sound produced when a finger strikes the skin over the patient's chest depends on the state of the underlying tissues. An experienced percussionist is able to distinguish abnormal solidification or enlargement of organs or the presence of fluid in the lungs. Both fluid on the lungs and an enlarged heart may signify heart failure | |
