Diagnostic Potential of Oscillometry: A Population-based Approach
Rationale Respiratory resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs) as measured by oscillometry and their intrabreath changes have emerged as sensitive parameters for detecting early pathological impairments during tidal breathing. Objectives This study evaluates

Oscillometry-defined Small Airway Dysfunction in Tobacco-exposed Adults with Impaired or Preserved Airflow. [PDF]
Rationale Small airway dysfunction (SAD) is a key feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and might present in tobacco-exposed adults with normal spirometry.

Standard pulmonary function tests and respiratory oscillometry patterns in hypersensitivity pneumonitis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
Background Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is an interstitial lung disease (ILD) caused by repeated exposure to inhaled antigens, leading to small airway and parenchymal inflammation. Diagnosis is based on a detailed clinical history, chest imaging and

Comparison of oscillometry with lung function parameters between patients with stable bronchial asthma with airflow obstruction and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
Background Lung oscillometry is an emerging investigation for assessing patients with obstructive airway disease. Comparison of oscillometry parameters with bronchodilator responsiveness (BDR) between patients with bronchial asthma and chronic ...

Lung volumes, gas transfer and oscillometry after preterm birth: systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Background Small airway and lung parenchymal abnormalities frequently occur following preterm birth but are commonly missed by spirometry. Static lung volumes, diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and oscillometry provide a more ...
