Here is a detailed overview aiming to helping you understand the respiratory examination. Derived from Macleod's Clinical Examination and focusing on what is being looked for during the respiratory clinical examination, and crucially the features to concentrate on during a respiratory OSCE station assessment

This “Respiratory Examination Explained” video is the sister to the "Taking a Respiratory History Video". Both of which have different styles. That is pure audio, whereas here we’re delving into video format for how to do the respiratory examination, both for a clinical OSCE station, but also I’m terms of patients with respiratory conditions, hence more visual clinical examples, all used with permission from Elsevier and their Clinical Key.

My aim is to produce an effective resource for clinical skills revision, aimed at the level of medical school finals revision.

So given that, which of the two approaches used here has been most effective?
How could things be improved for further clinical exams?
