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.

Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry [PDF]
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]
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]
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]
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]
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.

Diagnostic Potential of Oscillometry: A Population-based Approach
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
