Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2017 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

Medium-term pulmonary outcomes (<6 months) after pediatric COVID-19 infection evaluated using impulse oscillometry and spirometry. [PDF]
Pediatr Allergy ImmunolAbstract Objective Although coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) usually exhibits a mild clinical course in children, concerns remain regarding persistent airway dysfunction after recovery. This study aimed to evaluate pulmonary function tests (PFTs) in children following mild COVID‐19 infection and to compare the findings with those of healthy controls.
