Application broncho-phonography investigation for an estimation of respiratory frustration at immature infants with a respiratory distress-syndrome

Abstract

Respiratory distress syndrome of the newborn is a basic pathobiology immature infants and this grave condition of early neonatal period often is the cause of chronic lung disease — bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). BPD is marked by hyperreactivity of bronchi. The growth of this pathobiology in view of survival of immature infant is increasing in recent years. To measure functional status of respiratory tracts of infants with classical methods (spirography) is impossible. But there is a new method of diagnostics of broncho-obstructive syndrome, it is broncho-phonography. This method is noninvasive and can be used without active patient’s part in investigation. The examination results of immature infants with respiratory distress syndrome and with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with the help of broncho-phonography method are described in the article.

The results of respiratory patterns of immature infants are normal in spite of their disease. That’s why we can speak about usage of broncho-phonography method in differential diagnostics of wheezing and restrictive dysplasia.
