4. How to Perform Percussion
Percussion can be performed by injecting air into simulation lungs.
4-1. About Settings
① Abnormal / normal percussion can be set, corresponding the breathing sound cases chosen.
② The normality and abnormality of left and right lungs are set by connecting the simulation
lung pump with the air-inflating connector.
Example
・ Right: Abnormal breathing sound - Open (empty, lack of air in simulation lung)
Left: Normal breathing sound - Inflated (filled with air in simulation lung)
・ Both (left and right) normal sound: After inflating air into the one-side simulation lung,
take off the connector and then inflate air into the other simulation lung.
・ Both (left and right) abnormal sound: Remove the air in the simulation lungs, using the pump
for inflating the simulation lungs.
Please be sure to make the simulation lung inflated around 40mmHg,
measuring with manometer.
Excessive inflation can break the simulation lungs.
