Staging of Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome Using Home Spirometry

Chest, 1999
To compare the detection of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) in lung transplant recipients by clinic pulmonary function laboratory measurement and home spirometry.The subjects served as their own control group.A university-based thoracic transplant center.Forty-five lung transplant recipients (26 women and 19 men; average +/- SD age, 47.7+/-11.4

Quality of home spirometry performance amongst adults with cystic fibrosis

Journal of Cystic Fibrosis, 2022
Spirometry is usually performed under the supervision of a trained respiratory scientist to ensure acceptability and repeatability of results. To evaluate the quality of spirometry performance by adult cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with and without observation by a trained respiratory scientist, an observational, single centre study was conducted ...

Home‐spirometry exacerbation profiles in children with cystic fibrosis

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2023
AbstractBackgroundPulmonary exacerbations (PEx) are strong predictors of respiratory disease progression in children with cystic fibrosis (CwCF) and may be associated with persistent decreased lung function after acute management. Telemonitoring devices can be used for early detection and monitoring of PEx, but its utility is debated.Research ...

Spirometry at Home: Technology Within the Patient's Reach

Archivos de Bronconeumología ((English Edition)), 2004
Spirometry is a basic lung function test useful both for measuring and for monitoring expiratory volume. For many years monitoring has been performed by means of a portable peak flow meter capable of measuring maximal expiratory flow. We present a portable spirometer (Spirotel, Medical International Research, Rome, Italy) capable of transmitting stored

Reliability of home spirometry in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

Idiopathic interstitial pneumonias, 2020
Introduction: Recently, there has been quite some debate about the use and reliability of home spirometry in pulmonary fibrosis. We aimed to assess the feasibility and reliability of home spirometry over time compared to hospital spirometry in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

mmFlow: Facilitating At-Home Spirometry with 5G Smart Devices

2021 18th Annual IEEE International Conference on Sensing, Communication, and Networking (SECON), 2021
Respiratory diseases, like Asthma, COPD, have been a significant public health challenge over decades. Portable spirometers are effective in continuous monitoring of respiratory syndromes out-of-clinic. However, existing systems are either costly or provide limited information and require extra hardware.

“You're on mute!” Does pediatric CF home spirometry require physiologist supervision?

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2021
AbstractIntroductionThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has accelerated the move towards home spirometry monitoring, including in children. The aim of this study is to determine whether the remote supervision of spirometry by a physiologist improves the technical quality and failure rate of the maneuvers.MethodChildren with cystic fibrosis

Reproducibility of home spirometry in children with newly diagnosed asthma

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2000
We evaluated the reproducibility of home spirometry in 110 children aged 5-10 years with newly diagnosed asthma according to the criteria proposed by the American Thoracic Society (level of reproducibility < or = 5%). Flow-volume spirometry was performed in the clinic. Spirometric values were then monitored twice daily at home for 24 days (mean), using

Real‐world feasibility of short‐term, unsupervised home spirometry in CF

Pediatric Pulmonology, 2022
AbstractObjectivesThe objective of this study was to study the performance of two available home spirometers used by people with Cystic Fibrosis (PwCF) over a short‐term period and to assess user experience.Study designThis was a prospective observational study.
