Long-term recording of lung sounds
- Question
- Dear expert team,
is there the possibility to record for a longer period of time (the night) the sounds of the lung and the cough etc. by a device (LEOSound). Can that be helpful in case of CF, e.g. for the diagnosis or for the control of the sucess of the therapy/ course of the therapy? Many thanks already for your advice.
Here is an explaining video about the technique:

- Hello,
in my opinion, this device is rather sensible for asthma patients with complaints at night. The benefit of a nightly report of lung sounds and cough in case of CF has not yet been studied. You can also ask the treating physician of your CF center what he thinks about the usage of such a device.
Best regards,
