section::::the sound of crackles.









































crackles are caused by explosive opening of small airways and are discontinuous, nonmusical, and brief. crackles are much more common during the inspiratory than the expiratory phase of breathing, but they may be heard during the expiratory phase. crackles are often associated with inflammation or infection of the small bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. crackles that do not clear after a cough may indicate pulmonary edema or fluid in the alveoli due to heart failure, pulmonary fibrosis, or acute respiratory distress syndrome. crackles that partially clear or change after coughing may indicate bronchiectasis.
