What Does BBS Stand For?
BBS stands for Bilateral Breath Sounds
Bilateral Breath Sounds (BBS) refer to the respiratory sounds heard in both lungs during auscultation using a stethoscope. These sounds are essential for evaluating lung function and diagnosing respiratory conditions. BBS can indicate normal lung activity as well as abnormalities such as wheezing, crackles, or diminished sounds associated with various pulmonary diseases. Proper assessment of BBS is a critical component of a comprehensive respiratory examination.
