Background. The primary task in examination of patients with occupational diseases is objectivization of the diagnosis, allowing a physician to choose optimal schemes for treatment.

The purpose of the study was approbation of the method of acoustic computer monitoring of the state of the bronchopulmonaty system before and after drug treatment, using a computer phonospirographic equipment in patients with pneumoconiosis (PC) and chronic obstructive lung diseases (COLD).

Materials and methods. The studies were performed in the clinic for occupational patients of State Institution «Institute for Occupational Health of NAMS of Ukraine», using a computer multichannel phonospirograph complex «КоRА-03M1», developed and designed in the Institute of Hydromechanics of NAS of Ukraine.

Results. The computer processing, polychromatic imaging and the subsequent analysis of more than 80 sound images of patients allowed to objectify the state of their respiratory system before and after treatment. The objectification of the data, based on monitoring of spectral, temporal and correlation functions of the respiratory sounds, revealed qualitative and quantitative changes in the treatment process. The research results indicate the effectiveness of the acoustic monitoring method, which complete traditional clinical methods in monitoring the state of patients with occupational bronchopulmonary diseases in the treatment process.


Key words: chronic obstructive lung diseases (COLD), breathing sounds, monitoring, computer auscultation, phonospirograph complex
