Percussion<br />
<strong>The</strong> middle finger of the left hand is placed firmly on the part to be percussed.<br />
<strong>The</strong> back of the middle phalanx is then struck with the tip of the middle finger of the right<br />
hand the quality of the sound depends on the nature of the structure. Solid structures and<br />
fluids (heart) produce dull sound and structures containing air (lung) produce resonant<br />
sound. Listen for any change in resonance.<br />
How does percussion help in determining the size of the heart?<br />
