The Liver scratch test is a method medical professionals use in ascertaining the location and size of a patient s liver during a physical assessment. It is often used when other techniques, such as the hepatojugular reflux test either fail or are ineffective, most often due to abdominal distention or muscle tenseness. The Liver scratch test uses auscultation to detect the differences in sound transmission through the abdominal cavity over solid and hollow organs and spaces. ref Mosby s Guide to Physical Examination, 6th Edition, 2008, pages 545 547. ref Technique After placing a stethoscope over the approximate location of a patient s liver, a medical professional will then scratch the skin of the patient s abdomen lightly, moving laterally along the liver border. When the liver is encountered, the scratching sound heard in the stethoscope will increase significantly. In this manner, the size and shape of a patient s liver can be ascertained.

Wikify date April 2010 An electromagnetic diaphragm is a form of capacitive sensor used on an electronic stethoscope. The diaphragm is coated with a conductive material. Behind the diaphragm, a conductive plate is positioned behind and parallel to the diaphragm, so that the two conductive elements form a capacitor. Capacitance is a function of plate area , dielectric properties of the space between the conductors, and the distance between the conductors. It is this latter parameter which is modulated by vibration such that the capacitance varies with the distance between the electromagnetic diaphragm and the plate, forming an acoustic sensor. The electromagnetic diaphragm is a form of capacitive sensor, and shares properties with condenser microphones. The difference between the electromagnetic diaphragm and a condenser microphone is that a condenser microphone operates on the basis of air transmission, has a very thin membrane instead of a diaphragm, and cannot be placed against a body to sense sounds within the body. The electromagnetic diaphragm for stethoscopes was patented by Clive Smith in 2002 and is used on Thinklabs electronic stethoscopes.

Orphan date April 2011 A coin test or a bell metal resonance is a medical diagnostic test used to test for a puncture d lung . A punctured lung can cause air or fluid to leak into the pleural cavity , leading to, for example, pneumothorax or hydrothorax . In a coin test, a coin held against the chest is tapped by another coin on the side where the puncture is suspected. A stethoscope is placed on the back to listen to breath sounds and the sound of the coins. If a tinkling sound is heard, it is likely that air or fluid has found its way into the pleural cavity.

They occur where the pleural layers are inflamed and have lost their lubrication. Pleural rubs are common in pneumonia , pulmonary embolism , and pleurisy pleuritis .

Boundaries It has the following boundaries Superiorly and medially, by the inferior portion of the Trapezius Inferiorly, by the Latissimus dorsi Laterally by the medial border of the Scapula The superficial floor of the triangle is formed by the serratus anterior , rhomboid major , and the lateral portion of the erector spinae muscles. Deep to these muscles are the osseous portions of the 6th and 7th ribs and the internal and external intercostal muscles. Function Due to the relative thinning of the musculature of the back in the triangle, the posterior thoracic wall is closer to the skin surface, making respiratory sounds able to be heard more clearly with a stethoscope. To better expose the floor of the triangle, which is made up of the posterior thoracic wall in the 6th and 7th intercostal space, the patient is asked to fold their arms across their chest, medially rotating the scapulae, while bending forward at the trunk.
