What's the difference between auscultate and auscultation?

Auscultate


Definition:

  • (v. i. & t.) To practice auscultation; to examine by auscultation.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) To evaluate the relationship between the motion pattern and degree of organic change of the anterior mitral leaflet (AML) and the features of the mitral component of the first heart sound (M1) or the opening snap (OS), 37 patients with mitral stenosis (MS) were studied by auscultation, phonocardiography and echocardiography.
  • (2) Indirect blood pressure measurement techniques included automated oscillometry, manual auscultation, visual onset of oscillation (flicker) and return-to-flow methods.
  • (3) Rapid heart beat was found accidentally by auscultation.
  • (4) In contrast to other methods (ECG, inspection, auscultation, blood gas analysis), it immediately detects an impending lack of oxygen, whatever its cause.
  • (5) Although the continuous murmur is an unusual sign in patients with pulmonary embolism, its auscultation is often quite distinctive, and its appearance may lead to more definitive diagnostic studies when the presentation or associated clinical findings are nonspecific.
  • (6) An apparently primitive cervical bruit corresponded to a lesion of the carotid bifurcation in 61% of the cases (positive predictive value) whereas a normal bifurcation was detected in 70% of the cases in which the cervical bruit was considered as secondary (negative predictive value); the diagnostic accuracy of the "critical auscultation" has a value therefore of 63%, with a sensitivity of 84% and a specificity of 40%.
  • (7) In 43% of the patients with pulmonary tuberculosis no abnormal signs were registered by auscultation.
  • (8) A technique of thoracotomy via the triangle of auscultation is described.
  • (9) Echocardiography supports the diagnosis of MVP made by auscultation in over 90% of individuals, with excellent reproducibility.
  • (10) Cases of neonatal seizures and persistent abnormal neurological signs followed by survival were twice as frequent in the intermittent auscultation group, and this differential effect was related to duration of labor.
  • (11) Air entry by auscultation improved subjectively in 59% of patients.
  • (12) Testing consisted of spirometry, lung auscultation, and measurement of vital signs.
  • (13) Two of the four seronegative children developed a mild illness characterized by rhinorrhea and wheezing on auscultation; none had fever.
  • (14) During exercise, mean arterial pressure (MAP, brachial auscultation) was significantly lower (P less than 0.03) and heart rate significantly higher (P less than 0.02) during the prazosin trials; plasma catecholamine concentrations were unaffected.
  • (15) Diagnosis is made by following the classical physical diagnostic procedures of inspection, palpation, and auscultation.
  • (16) The ability of the auscultated acceleration test to predict nonstress test results after selected variables were controlled for was as follows: sensitivity, 75%; specificity, 97.6%; false-positive results, 14.3%; and false-negative results, 4.7%.
  • (17) As regards auscultation, a plea is made for differentiation between obstructed and non-obstructed consolidation of lobes, a point recognized by some clinicians, but not enunciated with clarity by teachers.
  • (18) The forceps delivery rate was 8.2% in the electronic fetal heart monitoring group compared with 6.3% in the intermittent auscultation group, and this excess was explained by more instrumental deliveries prompted by fetal heart rate abnormalities.
  • (19) Intraobserver and interobserver agreement in classifying all specific TMJ sounds at palpation and auscultation was acceptable to moderate (kappa value = 0.49 to 0.74).
  • (20) Twenty-seven of these 30 joints were treated with the appliance until the joints were silent to auscultation.

Auscultation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of listening or hearkening to.
  • (n.) An examination by listening either directly with the ear (immediate auscultation) applied to parts of the body, as the abdomen; or with the stethoscope (mediate auscultation), in order to distinguish sounds recognized as a sign of health or of disease.
