Recently,“Technical standards for respiratory oscillometry” was published, which reviewed
the physiological basis of oscillometric measures and detailed the technical factors related …

Simple spirometry and body plethysmography have been routinely used in children aged> 5
years. New techniques based on physiologic concepts that were first described almost 50 …

Objective To provide a clinical rationale for including impulse oscillometry (IOS) as a part of
standard office-based asthma assessment. Data Sources PubMed and Google search …

In 1956, a diagnostic tool using the forced oscillation technique (FOT) was developed to
examine respiratory functions. A modification of this method is impulse oscillometry (IOS). In …

Background Persistent bronchodilator response (BDR) following diagnosis of asthma is an
underrecognized treatable trait, associated with worse lung function and asthma control. The …

Background Thousands of people worldwide are suffering the consequences of coronavirus
disease-2019 (COVID-19), and impulse oscillometry (IOS) and lung ultrasound (LUS) might …

Oscillometry has been around for almost 70 years, but there are still many unknowns. The
test is performed during tidal breathing and is therefore free from patient-dependent factors …

Noninvasiveness, low cooperation demand and the potential for detailed physiological
characterisation have promoted the use of oscillometry in the assessment of lung function …

Identification of pathologic changes in early and mild obstructive lung disease has shown
the importance of the small airways and their contribution to symptoms. Indeed, significant …

Background and objective Smokers develop respiratory symptoms and peripheral airway
dysfunction even when spirometry is preserved. Multiple breath nitrogen washout (MBNW) …
