Nurse Sarah on Instagram: "As a nursing student and nurse, you'll want to know the different lung sounds. One area of confusion for many students is the difference between coarse crackles and fine crackles. For coarse crackles, remember the 3 "L's": low pitch, long duration, and loud. These sounds often remind me of someone blowing a straw in water, and you can hear them during inspiration and sometimes expiration. For fine crackles, they have a higher pitch, shorter duration, and softer sound.
