Oscillometry reference values for children and adolescents
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 ...

Respiratory profile of pediatric patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation studied by oscillometry - A TRANSPIRE cohort. [PDF]
These are results from a multi‐center collaboration between four large pediatric institutions, investigating baseline respiratory system function in a cohort of children undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. This manuscript proposes respiratory oscillometry as a novel way to prospectively follow lung function in these children.

Detection of Post- Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Bronchiolitis Obliterans Syndrome (BOS)-The Use of Airway Oscillometry. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) is a devastating complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) characterized by onset of obstructive lung disease. Oscillometry is a novel pulmonary function assessment technology which superimposes pressure waves on normal tidal breathing, and the alterations in ...

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.

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

Rationale Oscillometry is an emerging technique that offers some advantages over spirometry as it does not require forced exhalation and may detect early changes in respiratory pathology.

Role of impulse oscillometry in diagnosis and follow-up in bronchial asthma
Background: Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airways, characterized by bronchial hyper-responsiveness and variable airflow obstruction, that is often reversible either spontaneously or with treatment.

Pulmonary function testing involves a battery of tests from the simple pulse oximetry to the cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is one of the newly described pulmonary function tests. It is based on the old principle of forced oscillatory technique modified and refined as per research and advances. It involves the use of sound

Spirometry is considered the gold standard method for monitoring lung function of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) but it requires patients’ cooperation and therefore it is not useful for the majority of preschool-aged children.
