Can Oscillometry Replace Spirometry as a Major Tool for Lung Function Testing? – An Overview
Developing countries face a huge challenge in managing obstructive lung disorders due to frequency, severity, management, and economic impact. Spirometry has been the popular choice to assess the severity and reversibility of airflow obstruction, but the

Antenatal Maternal Smoking and Lung Function in Very Prematurely Born Children
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

Values of Impulse Oscillometry in Healthy Mexican Children and Adolescents [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The impulse oscillometry system (IOS) is increasingly used to evaluate lung function, but individual results must be compared with appropriate reference values.

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 ...

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 ...

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

Design and implementation of a multicenter protocol to obtain impulse oscillometry data in preterm children. [PDF]
Importance Objective measures of lung function are critical for assessing respiratory outcomes of prematurity. Among extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGANs) (< 29 weeks gestational age), high rates of neurodevelopmental impairment may interfere ...
