A1 Oliynik, Valery T1 Human Respiratory Sounds: Objectivization of the Auscultatory Signs JF International Journal of Fluid Mechanics Research JO FMR YR 2001 FD 2001-12-10 VO 28 IS 6 OP 25 AB The twenty-year retrospective of the techniques used for objectivization of auscultatory signs of breath sounds is presented. Modern views on the nature of breath sounds are enunciated. Bibliographic data about plausible reasons causing the basic and the complementary respiratory sounds are systematized. On basis of the spectral-time technique of analysis and visualization of complex sound signals a high potential of objectivization is demonstrated for a number of auscultatory signs. An attempt to classify different types of wheezes according to specifics of their spectral components is made.
