Discordant Spirometry and Impulse Oscillometry Assessments in the Diagnosis of Small Airway Dysfunction

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
Background and objective: Spirometry is commonly used to assess small airway dysfunction (SAD). Impulse oscillometry (IOS) can complement spirometry. However, discordant spirometry and IOS in the diagnosis of SAD were not uncommon.

Home Spirometry in Children with Cystic Fibrosis

Bioengineering, 2023
We report the implementation of a pediatric home spirometry program at our institution. A respiratory therapist provided either a virtual or an in-person initiation visit that included a coached spirometry session.

Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry in a Spirometry Database [PDF]

Respiratory Care, 2020
BACKGROUND: Spirometry results can yield a diagnosis of normal air flow, air flow obstruction, or preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm), defined as a reduced FEV 1 or FVC in the setting of preserved FEV 1

Deep learning using multilayer perception improves the diagnostic acumen of spirometry: a single-centre Canadian study

BMJ Open Respiratory Research, 2022
Rationale Spirometry and plethysmography are the gold standard pulmonary function tests (PFT) for diagnosis and management of lung disease. Due to the inaccessibility of plethysmography, spirometry is often used alone but this leads to missed or ...

Spirometry [PDF]

AAOHN Journal, 1997
Spirometry is the most widely used pulmonary function test. It is used for diagnosis and monitoring in a wide variety of obstructive and restrictive disease patterns. Spirometry is the primary measure in determining disability due to pulmonary disease, and is widely applied in the evaluation of bronchodilator response and airway hyperreactivity. A wide

Mechanism of spirometry associated gastro-esophageal reflux in individuals undergoing esophageal assessment.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Persistent variability observed during spirometry, even when technical and personal factors are controlled, has prompted interest in uncovering its underlying mechanisms.

Prevalence and effects of gastro-oesophageal reflux during spirometry in subjects undergoing reflux assessment.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Variability during spirometry can persist despite control of technical and personal factors. We postulate spirometry induces gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR), which may cause variability and affect results of spirometry.

The Impact of an Electronic Health Record Intervention on Spirometry Completion in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease

COPD, 2022
Spirometry is necessary to diagnose chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), yet a large proportion of patients are diagnosed and treated without having received testing.

HERMES Spirometry: the European Spirometry Driving Licence [PDF]

Breathe, 2011
Spirometry testing is the most widely practiced, most common and adaptable of all lung function tests and spirometers are used as a key instrument in the diagnosis of patients with respiratory disease [1]. As a leading cause of death worldwide responsible for some 9.4 million deaths [2], and further increases predicted by 2020, the management of lung ...

Millimetre‐wave radar‐based spirometry for the preliminary diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

IET Radar, Sonar & Navigation, 2023
Chronic respiratory diseases, especially chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), have high morbidity and mortality worldwide. Spirometry is regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis of COPD. However, conventional spirometry requires expensive
