Percussion is a method of tapping on a surface to determine the underlying structures, and is used in clinical examinations to assess the condition of the thorax or abdomen. It is one of the five methods of clinical examination, together with inspection, palpation, auscultation, and inquiry. It is done with the middle finger of one hand tapping on the middle finger of the other hand using a wrist action. The nonstriking finger (known as the pleximeter) is placed firmly on the body over tissue. When percussing boney areas such as the clavicle, the pleximeter can be omitted and the bone is tapped directly such as when percussing an apical cavitary lung lesion typical of TB • • Auscultation and percussion • Auscultation and percussion lungs • Auscultation and breath sounds • Auscultation and palpation • Palpation Auscultation and percussion • Auscultation and percussion of heart • Auscultation and percussion of abdomen • Palpation and Auscultation blood pressure • #easymedchem • #Easymedicine
