Auscultation is the act of listening to internal body sounds, typically using a stethoscope. It is a key physical assessment skill used to evaluate heart, lung, and bowel sounds. Abnormal findings, such as heart murmurs, crackles in the lungs, or absent bowel sounds, can indicate underlying conditions. Proper technique—including a quiet environment and correct placement of the stethoscope—is essential for accurate assessment and early detection of health issues.
