You are listening to a typical example of breath sounds with prominent wheezing. Also known as rhonci, wheezes are characteristically an expiratory sound associated with forced airflow through abnormally collapsed airways with residual trapping of air. Although commonly associated with asthma, wheezes may also be due to other causes such as airway swelling, tumor, or obstructing foreign bodies. |
