This stridor was recorded over the trachea of
a 15 month old girl with croup.
The respirosonogram
provides a visual representation of the content of the respiratory sound
recording. Time is shown on the horizontal and frequency on the vertical
axis. Sound intensity is indicated on a color scale, ranging from red (loud)
over yellow and light green (medium) to dark green and gray (low). The breathing
signal from Respitrace shows the rib cage [RC] movement at the top and the
abdominal [AB] movement at the bottom (inspiration = up, expiration = down). Note: there is asynchronous movement of chest and abdomen during
inspiration, clinically apparent as "indrawing".
