Respiratory oscillometry in monitoring lung transplant allograft function: a systematic scoping review [PDF]
European Respiratory ReviewAcute and chronic lung rejection are major barriers to the long-term survival of lung transplant recipients. Current spirometry-based monitoring of allograft function is limited by the low sensitivity in detecting distal airway abnormalities where ...

What can we learn about COPD from impulse oscillometry? [PDF]
Respiratory Medicine, 2018 Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is the most commonly used type of forced oscillation technique in clinical practice, although relatively little is known about its application in COPD.

Standard pulmonary function tests and respiratory oscillometry patterns in hypersensitivity pneumonitis and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis [PDF]
BMJ Open Respiratory ResearchBackground 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

Interpreting respiratory oscillometry in adults with asthma or COPD: findings of an international Delphi study [PDF]
ERJ Open ResearchBackground Respiratory oscillometry measures the physiological effort and mechanics of moving air in and out of the lungs during normal breathing. It provides complementary information to spirometry.

Day-to-Day Variability of Respiratory Resistance in Asthma and COPD: Influence of Intra-Breath Data Sampling and Observation Period [PDF]
IEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and MedicineObjective: Assessment of lung function variability is recommended for the diagnosis of asthma, but its specificity in separating asthmatic from COPD subjects is low.

Effects of Forceful Breathing Maneuvers of Spirometry on Respiratory Impedance Measured by Oscillometry [PDF]
Tuberculosis and Respiratory DiseasesBackground Deep inspiratory maneuvers can modify airway diameter, leading to shortterm fluctuations in respiratory impedance (Zrs). However, the impact of the forceful breathing maneuvers used in spirometry on Zrs has not been systematically investigated.
