Forced oscillation technique (FOT): a new tool for epidemiology of occupational lung diseases?
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of the forced oscillation technique (FOT) in the assessment of occupation-related airway changes. The forced oscillation technique and conventional lung function tests were applied in 80 underground coalface workers, aged 35-48 yrs, with chest roentgenogram films classified 0/1 or 1/0 according to the International Labour Office (ILO) classif...
متن کاملMeasurement of bronchial responsiveness by forced oscillation technique in occupational epidemiology.
The performance of the forced oscillation technique (FOT) in the assessment of bronchial responsiveness on the methacholine challenge test was compared with that of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) in 119 active workers with normal baseline pulmonary function. Changes in resistance (delta R0%), frequency dependence of resistance (delta P) and resonant frequency (delta F%) determine...
متن کاملClinical Applications of Forced Oscillation Techniques (FOT) in Patients with Bronchial Asthma
BACKGROUND Forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a method to characterize the mechanical properties of the respiratory system over a wide range of frequencies. Its most important advantage is to require minimal cooperation from the subject. This study was performed to evaluate the usefulness of the FOT applications in patients with bronchial asthma by estimating the associations between asthma ...
متن کاملMultilead impedance pneumography and forced oscillation technique for assessing lung tissue mechanical properties
Forced oscillation technique measuring transfer impedance (Ztr) is a traditional method to assess mechanical properties of the respiratory system. Lung tissue and airways mechanical properties are of clinical relevance, but difficult to distinguish from the Ztr measurand. We propose a novel method that replaces the plestymographyc chamber in Ztr by a multilead impedance pneumography (MLIP) syst...
متن کاملEpidemiology of Lung Diseases
Patients presenting with symptoms related to the respiratory system can be challenging to the physician as a number of diseases can overlap in the semiology. For instance, asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, interstitial lung disease and inflammatory lung disease can all present with dyspnea. The main differentiating factors between these disorders are the epidemiological and demographic ...
