Continuous adventitious lung sounds.
Recent research has increased the still limited understanding about the generation of continuous adventitious lung sounds. These sounds all have a definite pitch, such as in stridor and wheezing. With the use of waveform analysis, one can examine more closely the relationship between what is heard and the pathophysiology causing the sound. Clinical examples are given to show the utility and limitations of current lung sounds analysis techniques.
