Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
The aim of this study is to find differences in the computer-based lungsound analysis of the two groups. In Group E we will start the masurements in the first 24h. In both groups (group E and S) the measurement will take 24h. Following we will compare the wheezing and cough Events in both groups.

Secondary Outcome Measures

How many patients show wheezing during severe exacerbation? Is there a correlation between manual auscultation and the computerized lung sound monitor?
