BRUIT Sounds Like WHAT?! What is a Bruit Nursing

Описание: A bruit has a unique sound that you want to be familiar with as a nurse. The reason you want to be familiar with this sound is because you will be assessing for them during your head-to-toe nursing assessment. (Tip: The bell of the stethoscope is the best for assessing them.)

A bruit is a blowing, swooshing noise found in a vascular structure (ex: artery) that can arise for stenosis or partial obstruction of that vessel. In an abdominal assessment you will be listening at various points on the abdomen (femoral, renal, iliac, etc.). Plus, you will be listening for a bruit at the carotid arteries when doing a neck assessment. If a bruit is present at the carotid artery it could indicate a warning sign of a stroke. Always document and/or report a bruit if noted and necessary.
