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

Utility of impulse oscillometry in young children with asthma
Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, 2008 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.

Small airway dysfunction measured by impulse oscillometry is associated with exacerbations and poor symptom control in patients with asthma treated in a tertiary hospital subspecialist airways disease clinic [PDF]
Frontiers in AllergyIntroductionSmall airways dysfunction contributes to asthma pathophysiology and clinical outcomes including exacerbations and asthma control. Respiratory oscillometry is a simple, non-invasive and effort independent lung function test that provides vital

Indices of airway resistance and reactance from impulse oscillometry correlate with aerosol particle emission in different age groups [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAirborne transmission of pathogens plays a major role in the spread of infectious diseases. Aerosol particle production from the lung is thought to occur in the peripheral airways.

Role of impulse oscillometry in diagnosis and follow-up in bronchial asthma
Lung India, 2023 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.

Impulse oscillometry bronchodilator response in preschool children
Pediatric Pulmonology, 2023 AbstractBackgroundIn preschoolers, performing an acceptable spirometry and measuring bronchodilator response (BDR) is challenging; in this context, impulse oscillometry (IOS) represents a valid alternative. However, more studies on the standardization of BDR for IOS in young children are required.ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to identify ...
