crepitants
In that case, it would depend on client preference -- if client prefers BOS, then there is no such word as crepitants (and my guess would be that the client is saying crepitance as the pronunciation sounds the same)

crepitants
But what I really wanted to know is where you got crepitants???

There is no such word as crepitants. Please SM.
I checked Stedman's 27th, Dorland's Illustrated, a Webster's, other medical dictionaries, and various online dictionaries. The word crepitant is cited as an ADJECTIVE, but there is no notation of a plural. I am having a hard time even coming up with an adjective that you would add an -s to.

crepitants is plural of crepitant - no such word as crepitance sm
regardless of what it says in AAMT BOS.
