Apparatus for Dielectric Constant Measurements and Measurements for Water-Methanol Mixtures [PDF]

, 1970
A system for measuring dielectric constants has been constructed using a Sargent Oscillometer and an air bath for temperature control. The design and construction of the air bath as well as the temperature control achieved with it are described.

Manifesto on small airway involvement and management in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: an Interasma (Global Asthma Association - GAA) and World Allergy Organization (WAO) document endorsed by Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) and Global Allergy and Asthma European Network (GA2LEN) [PDF]

, 2016
Evidence that enables us to identify, assess, and access the small airways in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has led INTERASMA (Global Asthma Association) and WAO to take a position on the role of the small airways in these ...

Childhood severe asthma: relationship among asthma control scores, FeNO, spirometry and impulse oscillometry

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Introduction The evaluation of the asthmatic patient is usually based on clinical and functional parameters that do not necessarily evidence the degree of airway inflammation.

Evaluation expérimentale de la fonction pulmonaire chez le porc [PDF]

, 2004
This synthesis aims to review the pulmonary function tests available in swine. Two techniques are used in order to measure the variations of the mechanical properties of the respiratory system.

Cardiopulmonary interactions with beta-blockers and inhaled therapy in COPD [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Beta-blockers remain underused in patients with COPD and cardiovascular disease. Aim: We compared how different inhaled therapies affect tolerability of bisoprolol and carvedilol in moderate to severe COPD.

Can Oscillometry Replace Spirometry as a Major Tool for Lung Function Testing? – An Overview

Journal of Association of Pulmonologist of Tamil Nadu
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

Within-breath oscillometry for identifying exercise-induced bronchoconstriction in pediatric patients reporting symptoms with exercise

Frontiers in Pediatrics
Background Evaluating oscillometry parameters separately for the inspiratory and expiratory breath phases and their within-breath differences can help to identify exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in pediatric outpatients disclosing exercise ...

Effects of donor smoking history on early post-transplant lung function measured by oscillometry

Frontiers in Medicine
IntroductionPrior studies assessing outcomes of lung transplants from cigarette-smoking donors found mixed results. Oscillometry, a non-invasive test of respiratory impedance, detects changes in lung function of smokers prior to diagnosis of COPD, and ...

Reference Value of Impulse Oscillometry in Taiwanese Preschool Children

Pediatrics and Neonatology, 2015
Impulse oscillometry is a potential technique for assessing the respiratory mechanism—which includes airway resistance and reactance during tidal breathing—in minimally cooperative young children.

Indices of airway resistance and reactance from impulse oscillometry correlate with aerosol particle emission in different age groups

Scientific Reports
Airborne transmission of pathogens plays a major role in the spread of infectious diseases. Aerosol particle production from the lung is thought to occur in the peripheral airways.
