Background: Regional lungsound distribution in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is reported to be asynchronous.
2
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of lungsound asynchrony with pulmonary functions and emphysematous lesions in COPD patients.
3
The spatial distribution of the normal lungsounds intensity was examined.
4
Despite the cough and breathing problems, her lungssounded clear.
Conclusions: Long term monitoring of lungsounds is not feasible unless several barriers can be overcome.
7
Electronic auscultation and automated classification of recorded lungsounds may help prevent some of these shortcomings.
8
If she could hear equal lungsounds on both sides, the intubation tube was in the proper place.
9
Although she was breathing and her lungssounded normal, we placed a bag valve mask over her mouth.
10
The fever had subsided, certainly, and his lungssounded quite normal again, but he just couldn't get back on his feet.
11
Following qualitative review, we conducted a meta-analysis to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of CLSA for the detection of abnormal lungsounds.
12
Conclusions: Regional lungsounds are distributed more asynchronously in COPD patients than in healthy smokers, which correlates with the heterogeneous distribution of emphysematous lesions.
