Breath Acoustics in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to obtain repeated breath acoustic recordings in patients with COPD breathing at rest. These respiratory acoustics will be examined in relation to determinants of disease and/or disease states (classic respiratory pathophysiology) and quality of life measures in these patient populations to determine if any relationship or patterns exist within a condition based on disease severity.
