MMV

MMV Just for interest
Normal breath sounds are classified as tracheal, bronchial, bronchovesicular, and vesicular sounds. In a normal air-filled lung, vesicular sounds are heard over most of the lung fields. It used to be called normal vesicular murmur in old medical books (Compendium of percussion & auscultation)

MV and AP And ... see here it is: what I said in the previous question about "AP" must follow AC. I've never seen two m's though, it's always MV.

And from Medilexicon: "Vesicular Breath Sounds: 1. the gentle rustling sounds of normal breathing heard by auscultation over most of the lung fields; the inspiratory phase is usually longer than the expiratory."

A local doctor suggested, some time ago, that I translate "MV conservado" as "normal vesicular breath sounds".

Ah, now I can see the whole context:)

Filippe Vasconcellos de Freitas Guimarães Jan 9, 2014:

Yes It is "breath sounds". The words you're looking for are "murmullo vesicular".

I'm thinking this should be "Breath sounds", but don't know which Spanish words could correspond.
