Reference values of impulse oscillometric lung function indices in adults of advanced age. [PDF]
Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a non-demanding lung function test. Its diagnostic use may be particularly useful in patients of advanced age with physical or mental limitations unable to perform spirometry.

Vocal Cord Dysfunction as Demonstrated by Impulse Oscillometry [PDF]
Vocal cord dysfunction (VCD) is a respiratory disorder characterized by inappropriate vocal cord adduction during inspiration. The diagnosis of VCD is challenging, because expected flow volume loop abnormalities are uncommonly noted, and laryngoscopy must be timed to coincide with symptoms.We wanted to determine the potential role of impulse ...

The Influence of Different Mouthpieces on Impulse Oscillometry Results [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Impulse oscillometry is a method of airway assessment and diagnosis that provides data on lung mechanics. In the literature, studies have used different types of mouthpieces or did not describe the model used for the tests.

Impulse oscillometry bronchodilator response in preschool children
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 ...
