Abstract

PURPOSE: Vibration response imaging (VRI) is a technique that measures the vibration energy of lung sounds. This technology can be utilized in diagnosis and severity assessment of lung disease, including asthma, and therefore may be useful in guiding therapy and making disposition decisions in the Emergency Department (ED) setting. Utilizing VRI technology, we investigated changes in the breathing profile following treatment in acute asthmatics.

METHODS: 13 asthmatic patients (5 males; age
