Measuring lung function using sound waves: role of the forced oscillation technique and impulse oscillometry system
Measuring lung function is an important component in the decision making process for patients with obstructive airways disease (OAD). Not only does it help in arriving at a specific diagnosis, but it also helps in evaluating severity so that appropriate pharmacotherapy can be instituted, it helps determine prognosis and it helps evaluate response to therapy. Spirometry is currently the most com...
متن کاملAccuracy of Impulse Oscillometry in Airway Dysfunction
Background: The purpose of this study was to calculate and compare the specificity and sensitivity of impulse oscillometry (IOS) as a new technique in the detection of airways dysfunction by means of a simple pulmonary function test in chemical warfare injured cases suffering from respiratory diseases. Methods: The study was performed prospectively in 100 patients, who complained of dyspnea as ...
متن کاملEvaluation of lung function on impulse oscillometry in preschool children born late preterm.
BACKGROUND There is a paucity of data on lung physiology in late-preterm children, who may be exposed to a risk of decline in lung function during childhood. In this study, we evaluated lung function in preschool children born late preterm using impulse oscillometry (IOS), and compared the results with those obtained in healthy term-born children. METHODS Children between 3 and 7 years of age...
متن کاملState of the Art in Platelet Function Testing
Platelets are known to have a large variety of functions. They are main regulators of hemostasis, where they contribute to the hemostatic plug, and in addition accelerate the coagulation system [1]. Platelets also interact with a large variety of cell types, such as monocytes, neutrophils, endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells, and contribute to the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and vascu...
متن کاملState of the art in platelet function testing.
Platelets perform many functions in hemostasis but also in other areas of physiology and pathology. Therefore, it is obvious that many different function tests have been developed, each one conceived and standardized for a special purpose. This review will summarize the different fields in which platelet function testing is currently in use; diagnostics of patients with bleeding disorders, moni...
