Respiratory oscillometry identifies disease progression in interstitial lung disease [PDF]
Background Respiratory oscillometry is an effort-independent method of evaluating lung function. Its role in the monitoring of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is unclear.

Respiratory oscillometry in monitoring lung transplant allograft function: a systematic scoping review [PDF]
Acute 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 ...

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

Small airway dysfunction: a shared, early, measurable, and potentially treatable trait across COPD, asthma, and fibrotic lung disease [PDF]
Small airway dysfunction (SAD) has emerged as a key but historically under-recognized component of chronic respiratory diseases, offering a potential explanation for the frequent mismatch between symptom burden and spirometric findings.

Interpreting respiratory oscillometry in adults with asthma or COPD: findings of an international Delphi study [PDF]
Background 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.

Effects of Forceful Breathing Maneuvers of Spirometry on Respiratory Impedance Measured by Oscillometry [PDF]
Background 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.
