Sažetak
The aim of this study was to validate an asthma monitoring system based on wheezing detection in phonopneumograms. Electronic auscultation and recording of breathing was performed in a group of 26 asthmatic infants (1-7 years) in order to detect the presence of wheezing and determine appropriate respiratory spectra parameters for early detection of possible asthmatic seizures. For recording two types of transducers were used: electret microphones and accelerometers, positioned over the trachea or the chest. The power spectra were calculated and analysed for indicators of wheezing off line. Wheezing was detected in 70% of patients during asthmatic seizures and no wheezing could be detected when no pulmonary obstruction was present.
