Im finding your OSCE videos a real help as i prepare for mine. one question, we were always told that your patient should be standing to carry out this test as it allows the lungs to expand fully rather than diaphragmatic splinting that you get from sitting down? Thanks again

why stand up or sit up straight is necessary

@ELFCloudGamer 6 жыл бұрын

you want to get as much air into your lungs as possible so you want to expand your thoracic space and this means being in a position where your abdominal organs are not pushing up on your diaphragm so less force is required for the diaphragm to contract (because it doesn't need to contact against the abdominal organs). Simply, try curling up and taking a deep breath in, then try sitting up straight and repeat, you'll see a difference.
