Experience in using computer bronchophonography in paediatric practice

Abstract

Thanks to the innovations in the information technology field, computer acoustic diagnosis is beginning to be used in the clinical practice. Computer bronchophonography is one of the promising domestic innovations in the field of methods of measuring the functional state of the respiratory system. This method can be used at any stage of medical care to identify bronchial obstruction, monitor the effectiveness of treatment and preventive measures in patients with bronchopulmonary diseases, which is especially important in early and preschool years. However, further research is required in this current field, both from research and practical perspectives. In the article, the authors present their own experience in using and interpreting the results of bronchophonography in children.
