Background: Spirometry and body plethysmography have been routinely used for measuring pulmonary function. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a variant of forced oscillation technique based on physiologic concepts that were first described almost 50 years ago

Usefulness of Impulse Oscillometry in Predicting the Severity of Bronchiectasis [PDF]
Background Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory disease that leads to airway inflammation, destruction, and airflow limitation, which reflects its severity.

Correlation Between Body Plethysmography and Impulse Oscillometry Across Obstructive and Restrictive Lung Diseases: Evidence from an Adult Pilot Study Cohort [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Despite the complementary insights provided by body plethysmography and impulse oscillometry, direct comparisons across obstructive and restrictive lung diseases remain limited.

Comparison of impulse oscillometry measurements according to body mass index in patients with asthma [PDF]
Background Obesity can lead to increased airway resistance, especially in the peripheral airways. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) may detect small airway changes in asthma.

Role of impulse oscillometry in diagnosis and follow-up in bronchial asthma
Background: Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways, characterized by bronchial hyper-responsiveness and variable airflow obstruction, that is often reversible either spontaneously or with treatment.

Comparison of airway narrowing to moderate and cold temperature following a sub-maximal physical challenge evaluated by Impulse oscillometry [PDF]
Purpose: The efficacy of impulse oscillometry as an indirect measure of exercise-induced airway changes, compared to spirometry has not been comprehensively appreciated.
