Tympany is normally heard over the stomach, but is not a normal chest sound. Tympanic sounds heard over the chest indicate excessive air in the chest, such as may occur with pneumothorax.ercussion. Percussion is an assessment technique which produces sounds by the examiner tapping on the patient's chest wall. Just as lightly tapping on a container with your hands produces various sounds, so tapping on the chest wall produces sounds based on the amount of air in the lungs.

- This establishes a water seal, allows the escape of air, and prevents the re-entry of air. If no water is available and there has been bubbling in the water seal/air leak meter of a pleural tube, or there has been copious drainage from mediastinal tubes, leave the chest tube open.
