Impulse oscillometry: The state-of-art for lung function testing
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a variant of forced oscillation technique, described by Dubois over 50 years ago, which permits passive measurement of lung mechanics.

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.

The importance of impulse oscillometry in bronchial provocation testing in confirming the diagnosis of asthma in male army recruits [PDF]
Background/Aim. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a technique valid for measuring the lung function in obstructive lung diseases and bronchial provocation tests. However, no consensus exists for its use.

Repeatability of impulse oscillometry in patients with severe asthma
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) involves an effort independent tidal breathing manoeuvre to determine the presence or absence of small airways dysfunction (SAD), defined as raised peripheral airway resistance (difference in resistance between 5 and 20 Hz (R5-R20)) and/or raised peripheral airway reactance (area under the reactance curve (AX)) [1].

Pulmonary function testing involves a battery of tests from the simple pulse oximetry to the cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is one of the newly described pulmonary function tests. It is based on the old principle of forced oscillatory technique modified and refined as per research and advances. It involves the use of sound
