Abstract
A boy with subglottic narrowing secondary to laryngotracheitis presented with noisy breathing. Acoustic measurements of tracheal sounds at standardized air flows correlated well with the clinical course and with spirometric assessments. This indicates the potential value of respiratory sound characterization in patients with upper airway obstruction.
