What is Bowel and Vascular Sounds Assessment about?

Bowel sounds are normally audible and indicate intestinal activity. Hypoactive or reduced sounds suggest slowed motility, while hyperactive sounds indicate increased motility such as after eating. True absence of sounds indicates cessation of intestinal movement. Vascular sounds are normally absent over the abdomen. Bruits may indicate partial obstruction of major arteries like the aorta. Abdominal rubs are rare but suggest an irregular organ surface from a mass, abscess, or infarction.
