Respiratory oscillometry identifies disease progression in interstitial lung disease [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ Open Respiratory Research
Background Respiratory oscillometry is an effort-independent method of evaluating lung function. Its role in the monitoring of interstitial lung disease (ILD) is unclear.

Clinical significance and applications of oscillometry [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review, 2022
Recently, “Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry” was published, which reviewed the physiological basis of oscillometric measures and detailed the technical factors related to equipment and test performance, quality assurance and reporting of ...

Oscillometry for the diagnosis of asthma in children: a systematic review [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review
Background Diagnosing asthma in children and young people (CYP) remains challenging. Oscillometry is a promising tool and is feasible from 2 years of age.

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

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Review
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]

open access: yesBMJ Open Respiratory Research
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]

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
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]

open access: yesERJ Open Research
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]

open access: yesTuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases
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.

Correlation of respiratory oscillometry with CT image analysis in a prospective cohort of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

open access: yesBMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2022
Background Markers of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) severity are based on measurements of forced vital capacity (FVC), diffusing capacity (DLCO) and CT. The pulmonary vessel volume (PVV) is a novel quantitative and independent prognostic structural

Characterization of chronic lung allograft dysfunction phenotypes using spectral and intrabreath oscillometry

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2022
Background: Chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) is the major cause of death beyond 2 years after lung transplantation and develops in 50% of all patients by 5 years post-transplant.
