Can clubbing and cyanosis be in the chest? - Drawing a blank
Posted: Jun 07, 2012
I've been an MT for 14 years and never once heard of clubbing and cyosis in the lungs. In the exam he says - The lung fields are well expanded and clear to percussion and auscultation. There is no clubbing or cyanosis.
Then he goes into the heart, abdomen, the extremities. Would it be correct to leave it under the lungs or do you think he's just all over the board. I cannot find anything that relates clubbing and cyanosis with the lungs, but wanted to ask first before I go and move it.
Thx
I would move it to extremities. - nm

Clubbing and cyanosis are signs of lung disease - Ortho Pro
[ In Reply To ..]Maybe that's why it was dictated in the lung exam, though I've never heard a doctor dictate it in the lung section of the exam.
I get this all the time... - MTme
[ In Reply To ..]...from one particular doctor. Not too smooth, but I'd leave it as dictated.
