I found nasal flaring s/m

Posted By: qtxan on 2008-03-27
In Reply to: question about chest exam - shawna

Subject: I found nasal flaring s/m

I googled wheezing, rales, retractions and found several references to flaring - I would suggest you Google and look at what pops up. I cannot paste what I found but it does sound correct... its pediatric right?
