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 …

Oscillometry (also known as the forced oscillation technique) measures the mechanical
properties of the respiratory system (upper and intrathoracic airways, lung tissue and chest …

Purpose To review available evidence in the literature on impulse oscillometry in the
assessment of lung function in children with respiratory diseases, especially asthma. Data …

Background New oscillometry devices allowing quantification of respiratory function using
tidal breathing are commercially available, but reference equations are lacking for the …

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 …

Background Factors that determine the relationship between obesity and poor outcomes in
asthmatic children are not well understood. Dysanapsis and peripheral airway impairment …

The objective of this review is to provide new advances in our understanding of the clinical
importance of establishing peripheral airway impairment (PAI) by impulse oscillometry (IOS) …

Background Published reference equations for impulse oscillometry (IOS) usually
encompass a specific age group but not the entire lifespan. This may lead to discordant …

Background Peripheral airway impairment, although frequently unrecognized, is a risk factor
for poor asthma control, loss of control, increased exacerbations, airway …

BACKGROUND: The impulse oscillometry system is a noninvasive method of evaluating
respiratory mechanics that is being increasingly used in the pediatric population. To date, no …
