TLDR
Wheezing was found to be strongly dependent upon air flow, and generally followed the changes in pulmonary function as indicated by the forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1).Abstract:
Breath sounds were recorded in normal and asthmatic children over the chest and trachea. The power spectra of the sounds were analyzed for peaks of high amplitude and high frequency as indications of wheezing. The percent of inspiration and expiration spent wheezing was used as an indication of the severity of bronchial obstruction. Wheezing was found to be strongly dependent upon air flow, and generally followed the changes in pulmonary function as indicated by the forced expiratory volume at 1 s (FEV1). The trachea was found to be a better location for analyzing wheezes than the lung.read more

The Stethoscope: Historical Considerations
TL;DR: Rene Laennec’s classic textbook, A Treatise on Mediate Auscultation and Diseases of the Lungs and Heart first published 1819, provided entirely novel and profound insights into both pulmonary and cardiac disease.

An optimal asthma disease detection technique for voice signal using hybrid machine learning technique
TL;DR: Comparison results of asthma and non‐asthma classification of respiratory sounds suggest that the particular method works better than usual existing state‐of‐art state-of-art techniques.

Distance-Based Detection of Cough, Wheeze, and Breath Sounds on Wearable Devices
TL;DR: The proposed K-MDC classifier achieves accurate detection in up to 91.23% of cases, and it reaches various detection accuracies with a fewer number of features compared with other classifiers, translating to great potential for implementation in health-monitoring wearable devices.

Wave-speed limitation on expiratory flow-a unifying concept.
S. V. Dawson,E. A. Elliott +1 more
TL;DR: The theoretical approach to the "waterfall effect" leads to selection of the analogy of constricted open-channel flow to apply to the elastic network of airway tubes, and results are derived for the case of negligible friction by use of the Bernoulli principle.

Spectral characteristics of normal breath sounds.
TL;DR: Breath sounds picked up over the trachea were characterized by power spectra typical to a broad spectrum sound with a sharp decrease of power at a cut-off frequency that varied between 850 and 1,600 Hz among the 10 healthy subjects studied.

TL;DR: Time-expanded wave form analysis provides reproducible visual displays that allow documentation of the differentiating features of lung sounds and enhances the diagnostic utility of the sounds.

Relationship of Wheezing to the Severity of Obstruction in Asthma

TL;DR: Although characterization of wheezing has a general relationship to the severity of airway obstruction, an objective measurement of expiratory flow rate is necessary for the evaluation of each patient's condition.
