Oscillometry reference values for children and adolescents

open access: yesERJ Open Research
Background Oscillometry devices allow quantification of respiratory function at tidal breathing but device-specific reference equations are scarce: the present study aims to create sex-specific oscillometric reference values for children and adolescents ...

Clinical application of oscillometry in respiratory diseases: an impulse oscillometry registry

open access: yesERJ Open Research, 2022
BackgroundRespiratory oscillometry is a promising complement to the traditional pulmonary function tests for its simplicity. The usefulness of oscillometry in adult clinical practice has not been clarified. This study aimed to analyse the characteristics and diagnostic performance of oscillometry in respiratory diseases, and explore the cut-offs of ...

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

Advantage of impulse oscillometry over spirometry to diagnose chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and monitor pulmonary responses to bronchodilators: An observational study

open access: yesSAGE Open Medicine, 2015
Objectives: This retrospective study was a comparative analysis of sensitivity of impulse oscillometry and spirometry techniques for use in a mixed chronic obstructive pulmonary disease group for assessing disease severity and inhalation therapy. Methods:

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 ...

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.

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
