Medium-term pulmonary outcomes (<6 months) after pediatric COVID-19 infection evaluated using impulse oscillometry and spirometry. [PDF]
Abstract 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.

Role of Impulse Oscillometry in Assessing Asthma Control in Children
Impulse oscillometry is an effort-independent technique of assessment of airway resistance and reactance, and can be performed in children unable to complete spirometry.To evaluate the utility of impulse oscillometry and spirometry for assessing asthma control in children.Prospective cohort study.Children aged 5-15 years, with mild to severe persistent

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.

The role of impulse oscillometry in assessment of airway obstruction in smokers and ex-smokers
Background: Impulse oscillometry provides useful clinical information that prominently includes functional assessment of small, peripheral airway behavior beyond that available from commonly used pulmonary function tests (PFT).

The role of impulse oscillometry in detecting airway dysfunction in athletes [PDF]
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) has previously been proposed to provide greater sensitivity than spirometry when employed with indirect bronchoprovocation testing for the diagnosis of airway dysfunction in athletes. However, this recommendation is based on a highly selected population of symptomatic patients.To compare IOS, spirometry and respiratory ...
