what is fremite/is it useful?



Answers:
Fremitus is a palpable vibration on the human body. In common medical usage, it usually refers to (tactile) vocal fremitus, although there are several other types.
Bronchial Fremitus

See rhonchal fremitus below.
Hepatic Fremitus

Hepatic fremitus is a vibration felt over the patient's liver. It is thought to be caused by a severely inflamed and necrotic liver rubbing up against the peritoneum. The name 'Monash sign' has been suggested for this clinical sign, after the Monash Medical Centre in Melbourne, Australia (Nagappan et al, 2001).
Hydatid Fremitus

Hydatid fremitus is a vibratory sensation felt on palpating a hydatid cyst.
Pectoral Fremitus

See vocal fremitus below.
Pericardial Fremitus

Pericardial fremitus is a vibration felt on the chest wall due to the friction of the surfaces of the pericardium over each other. See pericardial friction rub for the auditory analog of this sign.
Pleural Fremitus

Pleural fremitus is a palpable vibration of the wall of the thorax caused by friction between the parietal and visceral pleura of the lungs. See pleural friction rub for the auditory analog of this sign.
Rhonchal Fremitus

Rhonchal fremitus, also known as bronchial fremitus, is a palpable vibration produced during breathing caused by partial airway obstruction. The obstruction can be due to mucus or other secretions in the airway, bronchial hyperreactivity, or tumors. See rhonchus (rhonchi) for the auditory analog of this sign.
Subjective Fremitus

Subjective fremitus is a vibration felt by the patient on humming with the mouth closed.
Tactile Fremitus

See vocal fremitus below.
Tussive Fremitus

Tussive fremitus is a vibration felt on the chest when the patient coughs.
Vocal Fremitus

Vocal Fremitus, also called pectoral fremitus, or tactile vocal fremitus, is a vibration felt on the patient's chest during low frequency vocalization. Commonly, the patient is asked to repeat the phrase 'ninety-nine' while the examiner attemps to detect vibrations on the chest wall.

Vocal fremitus is normally more intense in the right second intercostal space, as well as in the interscapular region, as these areas are closest to the bronchial bifurcation.
