This review outlines the recent evidence on the role of small airway dysfunction in paediatric
asthma development and control, and addresses how the use of new diagnostic techniques …

Premature birth is a risk factor for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD); both of which are
associated with obstructive airway disease throughout childhood. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) …

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

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

Airway oscillometry has become the de facto standard for quality assessment of lung
physiology in laboratory animals and has demonstrated its usefulness in understanding …

Objective Lung function testing is used in diagnosing asthma and assessing asthma control.
Spirometry is most commonly used, but younger children can find performing this test …

Impedance, or oscillometry, measurements of the respiratory system can generate
information about the function of the respiratory system not possible with traditional …

Asthma is a heterogeneous disease usually characterized by chronic airway inflammation
and recognized as the most prevalent chronic illness among children. Despite this, the …

Objective To develop regression equations of within and whole-breath respiratory
impedance for Indian children aged 5 to 17 y. Methods A prospective cross-sectional study …

Objective: Several commercial and custom-made forced oscillation technique (FOT) devices
are used to assess respiratory system impedance. The impulse oscillometry system (IOS) is …
