Evaluation of the interrupter technique for the use of assessing airway obstruction in children.

abstract：:Wheezing is the most widely reported adventitious lung sound in the English language. It is recognized by health professionals as well as by lay people, although often with a different meaning. Wheezing is an indicator of airway obstruction and therefore of interest particularly for the assessment of young children an...
