Given the difficulty in assessing airflow in the lungs, measuring lung vibration could potentially serve as a surrogate for regional lung airflow.

Bedside spirometers for measuring lung capacity before, during and after sex.
Holding RR constant as VT increases, the total lung vibration measured with VRI increases linearly.
The relationship between VT and flow on lung vibration was demonstrated in four healthy volunteers.
The total lung vibration energy transmitted to the posterior thorax (from 36 sensors) was plotted over time and the transition of vibrations from inspiration to expiration noted.
We used vibration response imaging (VRI) technology to ascertain the intensity of lung vibration with different inspiratory flow patterns during various modes of mechanical ventilation.
When the flow-time waveform recorded between the patient and the ventilator is compared with the vibration waveform summed from surface sensors, two patterns emerge: as the time between PIF and PEF increases, the separation of peak I and E lung vibration energy increases; and as end-inspiratory flow decreases, the valley between peak I and E vibration deepens.
During pressure support ventilation, PIF and PEF are separated – resulting in a consistent separation of I and E peak lung vibration.
In this study, we objectively evaluated the differences in regional lung vibration during different modes of mechanical ventilation by means of this new technology.
This frequency setting was achieved by attaching a spring-loaded potentiometer underneath the platform base and measuring the vibration rate.
The MEF, which displays the peak inspiratory vibration, was selected as the frame providing the most information on the distribution of lung vibrations and on the overall lung condition.
