Role of Impulse Oscillometry in Assessing Asthma Control in Children

Indian Pediatrics, 2020
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

Antenatal Maternal Smoking and Lung Function in Very Prematurely Born Children

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Antenatal exposure to maternal smoking negatively impacts on fetal lung development resulting in infant lung function abnormalities. Lung clearance indices (LCI) were worse in term born infants exposed to antenatal maternal smoking compared to not. Our aim was to assess the effect of antenatal maternal smoking on lung function, in

Small Airway Function as an Indicator for Persistent Airflow Limitation Asthma: A Retrospective Study

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 20, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Asthma is a heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic inflammatory changes in the airways and reversible airflow limitation. Persistent airflow limitation (PAL) asthma, as a common phenotype of asthma, is usually defined as forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) ratio lower than 0.7 after ...

Respiratory Oscillometry and Multimodal Lung Function Assessment of Elexacaftor/Tezacaftor/Ivacaftor Response in Children and Young Adults With Cystic Fibrosis

Pediatric Pulmonology, Volume 61, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background To date, there is no data on forced oscillation technique (FOT) as a tool to evaluate elexacaftor/tezacaftor/ivacaftor (ETI) modulator in young patients with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Objective Our study aimed to assess the effect of a 6‐month ETI treatment on FOT parameters and compare it to the effect on spirometry and nitrogen ...

Peripheral airway function and disease burden in COPD

ERJ Open Research
Background While oscillometry appears advantageous over spirometry in detecting peripheral airway dysfunction, a feature of COPD, further research on its role in disease monitoring is needed.

Real‐life application of respiratory oscillometry in pediatric asthma outpatient care: Feasibility and methodological aspects

Physiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 3, February 2026.
Abstract Asthma diagnosis can be challenging in children. Spirometry is highly effort‐dependent and often normal in early disease. Forced oscillation technique (FOT) is an alternative to spirometry and is performed during tidal breathing. We investigated the feasibility of FOT with fewer acquisitions than suggested by technical standards in a pediatric

Effect of gastroesophageal reflux disease on spirometry, lung diffusion, and impulse oscillometry

The Egyptian Journal of Bronchology, 2016
Background Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is known to be associated with many forms of respiratory diseases, including asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, cystic fibrosis, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
