that means the treatment helped. it means the person suffered a minor attack and the medication administered helped clear the airways and ameliorated breathing

Decreased wheezing means that the treatment has ameliorated the patient's airflow. What is concerning is the lack of breath sounds or diminished breath sounds after the treatment-cessation means that bronchospasm is occurring and the patient is the bulk likely moving farther into respiratory failure and could possibly need intubation.

of course it's improving... that means that you're medication's effective because less wheezing means your lungs are clear. your lungs contract less now because wheezing isn't much a problem now...

I do agree with the all above mentioned answers. Wheezing can be even heard without using stethoscope during an episode of an acute asthmatic attack. In extreme cases, you may unable to hear the wheeze even with the use of stethoscope. Which means, the airways are severely narrowed and obstructed with the secretions that result in no air flow via the airways. So, you may not hear the wheeze at all.
So,if the initial treatment for an acute asthma is ineffective, the medics need to consider other option without delay. So, absence of wheeze does not always mean that the treatment is successful. It may even indicate the worsening situation. Hope, this helps. |
