Children, 2021 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.

Impulse oscillometry identifies peripheral airway dysfunction in children with adenosine deaminase deficiency. [PDF]
, 2015 Adenosine deaminase-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID) is characterized by impaired T-, B- and NK-cell function. Affected children, in addition to early onset of infections, manifest non-immunologic symptoms including pulmonary ...

Advances in Respiratory Medicine, 2019 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

Quality assessment pathway for respiratory oscillometry [PDF]
ERJ Open Research, 2022 A flow-chart-driven procedure is presented to facilitate respiratory oscillometry operator competency and measurement quality. A novel feature is a quality grading system, in line with other standards of lung function. https://bit.ly/3G4r0X1.

Within‐session reproducibility of forced oscillometry [PDF]
Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging, 2021 AbstractBackgroundThe forced oscillation technique (FOT) provides detailed information about the mechanics of the respiratory system, while requiring minimal co‐operation by the patient. FOT may be abnormal in subjects with normal spirometry and appears to be more closely related to airway symptoms.
