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

Surfactant is a pivotal neonatal drug used both for respiratory distress syndrome due to
surfactant deficiency and for more complex surfactant dysfunctions (such as in case of …

Background Current criteria for surfactant administration assume that hypoxia is a direct
marker of lung-volume de-recruitment. We first introduced an early, non-invasive …

Background We investigated whether combining lung ultrasound scores (LUSs) and
respiratory system reactance (Xrs) measured by respiratory oscillometry explains the …

Background To determine normative data by forced oscillation technique (FOT) in non-
sedated normal term neonates and test the hypothesis that infants with transient tachypnea …

Objective. To examine the influence of the endotracheal tube (ETT) on respiratory reactance
(X rs) measured with the forced oscillation technique (FOT) and develop a correction method …

Objective To create reference values for respiratory system resistance (Rrs) and reactance
(Xrs) measured by the forced oscillation technique (FOT) in nonintubated very preterm …

Objective We aimed to measure lung mechanics at birth by the forced oscillation technique
(FOT) for assessment of the initial degree of lung aeration and the short‐term aeration …

Despite recent insights into the dynamic processes during lung aeration at birth, several
aspects remain poorly understood. We aimed to characterize changes in lung mechanics …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most frequent morbidity of preterm birth and is
characterised by abnormal or arrested pulmonary development. Current definitions of BPD …
