Acoustic biomechanical relationships of human forced exhalation in bronchial obstruction

Аннотация

A statistically significant bidirectional influence of the incidence and degree of bronchial obstruction on the acoustic parameters of forced expiration and the spirometry/body plethysmography indicators of lung function has been revealed by means of nonparametric analysis of variance in a sample of 218 subjects. It has been shown that the acoustic band pass times and energies of forced expiratory tracheal noises coordinate with both tidal resistance and residual volume.
