Detailed explanation-1: -Bronchophony: While auscultating the lung fields, the patient is asked to repeat “99.” Bronchophony is present if the “99” appears louder and more distinct over certain areas, suggesting underlying consolidation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Normally, the sound of the patient’s voice becomes less distinct as the auscultation moves peripherally; bronchophony is the phenomenon of the patient’s voice remaining loud at the periphery of the lungs or sounding louder than usual over a distinct area of consolidation, such as in pneumonia.
Detailed explanation-3: -Bronchophony: Ask the patient to say “99” in a normal voice. Listen to the chest with a stethoscope. The expected finding is that the words will be indistinct. Bronchophony is present if sounds can be heard clearly.
