French term or phrase: crépitants mobilisables
Hi,

This is a handwritten text from Quebec.

Under the physical examination of the lungs I have "[illegible] crépitants mobilisables"

Does this mean that they can be modified or cleared by coughing or breathing?

Thanks

Mobile crackles


Explanation:
Mobile Crackles - The idea here is that a change in patient position results in a crackle location change. Usually these changes will follow gravity and will be declivitous thereby suggesting that the cause of the crackles is fluid buildup probably in the pleural space and not in the airways.
