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 ...

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.

Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Respiratory Journal, 2019
Oscillometry (also known as the forced oscillation technique) measures the mechanical properties of the respiratory system (upper and intrathoracic airways, lung tissue and chest wall) during quiet tidal breathing, by the application of an oscillating ...

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

Day-to-Day Variability of Respiratory Resistance in Asthma and COPD: Influence of Intra-Breath Data Sampling and Observation Period [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Translational Engineering in Health and Medicine
Objective: Assessment of lung function variability is recommended for the diagnosis of asthma, but its specificity in separating asthmatic from COPD subjects is low.

Oscillometry-defined Small Airway Dysfunction in Tobacco-exposed Adults with Impaired or Preserved Airflow. [PDF]

open access: yesAm J Respir Crit Care Med
Rationale Small airway dysfunction (SAD) is a key feature of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and might present in tobacco-exposed adults with normal 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.

Respiratory oscillometry with CT image analysis in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis following single lung transplant

open access: yesRespiratory Medicine Case Reports
Oscillometry is an emerging pulmonary function testing tool that is conducted during tidal breaths with minimal patient effort. It is highly sensitive to changes in lung mechanics.

Diagnostic Potential of Oscillometry: A Population-based Approach

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2023
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

A comparison of respiratory oscillometry and spirometry in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: performance time, symptom burden and test–retest reliability

open access: yesERJ Open Research
Study question In large multinational patient surveys, spirometry (which requires repeated, reproducible maximal efforts) can be associated with cough, breathlessness and tiredness, particularly in those with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF ...
