The role of oscillometry in asthma

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine
Purpose of review Oscillometry is a noninvasive pulmonary function test that has gained significant interest in the evaluation of lung disease. Currently, oscillometry is primarily a research tool, but there is a growing body of evidence supporting its ...

Skin avulsion during oscillometry

Journal of Clinical Monitoring, 1986
We observed a case of skin avulsion associated with measurement of blood pressure by oscillometry on an anesthetized patient in the prone position. Epidermal shearing may be avoided in the prone patient by either wrapping the antecubital skin underlying the blood pressure cuff with gauze or preventing weight-bearing by the cuffed portion of the arm.

The Role of Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide and Oscillometry in Pediatric Asthma

Respiratory care
Diagnosing pediatric asthma is challenging and requires the evaluation of symptoms, inflammation, and lung function. Spirometry, which is commonly used to evaluate lung function in asthma, is difficult to obtain from young pediatric patients and ...

Impulse Oscillometry as an Alternative Lung Function Test for Hospitalized Adults

Respiratory care
BACKGROUND: Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is a noninvasive technique that measures lung physiology independently of patient effort. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the utility of IOS parameters in comparison with pulmonary function testing ...

Oscillometry: clinical significance and applications

PULMONOLOGIYA, 2023
Oscillometry (the forced oscillation technique) is widely used in the Russian Federation. It is a simple, noninvasive functional diagnostic test that offers unique advantages in cases where spirometry and other pulmonary function tests are not appropriate, such as in young children, debilitated patients, or patients with physical and cognitive barriers

Physiological Analysis of Extended-Spectrum Oscillometry

Respiration, 1988
Using a forced oscillation technique, the resistance and reactance of the respiratory system in a frequency range between 4 and 52 Hz were described in a group of healthy subjects and a group of patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In normal subjects, resistance values increased at higher frequencies.

Comparison of home‐based spirometry and oscillometry measurements in school‐age children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia

Pediatric Pulmonology
This study compares home‐based oscillometry and spirometry for characterizing respiratory system disease in school‐aged children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in clinical research.

Respiratory oscillometry testing in relation to exercise in healthy and asthmatic Thoroughbreds.

Equine Veterinary Journal
BACKGROUND Racehorses may experience exercise-induced bronchodilation or bronchoconstriction, with potential differences between healthy and asthmatic individuals.
