Utility of impulse oscillometry in young children with asthma
Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) was developed as a tool to measure lung function, and as it only requires passive cooperation, it has been successfully used in younger children. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of IOS compared to conventional spirometry for lung function measures in asthmatic Korean children aged 3 to 6 yrs.

Markers of small airway involvement and asthma control in moderate-to-severe asthmatic patients [PDF]
SUMMARY Background: Involvement of small airways has been hypothesized to be responsible of poor asthma control in subgroups of patients, also due to the difficulty of inhaled drugs to reach peripheral airways.
