Abstract
The lung auscultation is a very important technique for physical assessment of children with respiratory diseases. Pediatricians are required to record lung auscultation findings using standard nomenclature and there are a lot of techniques to learn in order to make the most of lung auscultation. However, there are not many chances to get formal education on lung auscultation, nowadays. As the introduction to this symposium on lung sounds, I presented here the fundamentals and application of lung auscultation skills and demonstrated a number of video clips recorded from real patients in order to show usefulness of the teaching materials using digital video equipment.
