Role of the impulse oscillometry in the evaluation of tracheal stenosis

Pulmonology, 2018
Tracheal stenosis is a rare and challenging disease. Bronchoscopy is the gold standard for diagnosis and assessment but brings inherent risks. Spirometry is commonly used to access obstructions but is not always feasible due to patient related factors.

The role of impulse oscillometry in detecting airway dysfunction in athletes [PDF]

Journal of Asthma, 2015
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 ...

Impulse Oscillometry as a Predictor of Asthma Exacerbations in Young Children [PDF]

Respiration, 2016
<b><i>Background:</i></b> In a post-hoc analysis of a pediatric asthma study, we identified the predictors of asthma exacerbations (AEs) and related them to forced expiratory volume (FEV₁), the FEV₁/FVC ratio, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). <b><i>Objectives:</

IMPULSE OSCILLOMETRY FOR DIAGNOSIS OF EARLY CHANGES IN THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM FUNCTIONAL STATE IN PATIENTS WITH MILD ASTHMA

Архивъ внутренней медицины, 2019
Currently, the analysis of respiratory function of lungs at suspicion of obstructive pulmonary diseases is recommended to start with spirometry as the most sensitive method of obstruction detection. However, data on informative value and specificity of a

Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways

Allergy, EarlyView.
Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures. ARMS, Asthma

The role of impulse oscillometry in assessment of airway obstruction in smokers and ex-smokers

Egyptian Journal of Chest Disease and Tuberculosis, 2012
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).

Impact of COVID‐19 on Subsequent Lung Function in Childhood: A Systematized Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The SARS‐CoV‐2 infection can lead to transiently altered lung function in adults, but data is less clear in children. We aimed to summarize the available evidence about respiratory outcomes after COVID‐19 in childhood. Methods We conducted a literature search on post‐COVID‐19 lung function tests (LFT) on the Medline and ...

Bronchodilator Responsiveness in Preterm‐Born Children With Chronic Lung Disease: Importance of Individualized Testing

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Children born preterm with chronic lung disease of Immaturity (CLDI) frequently present with obstructive lung function, yet optimal bronchodilator therapy remains uncertain. Previous studies focused on β2‐agonists, while evidence for muscarinic antagonist therapy is limited.
