pulmonary function test and impulse oscillometry in severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients' offspring
background: several studies have showed an increased prevalence of airflow obstruction in first degree relatives of individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd). considering no specific research had evaluated airway resistance in offspring of patients with severe copd, we utilized a spirometry and a impulse oscillometry (io) to evaluate this population. materials and methods: i...
متن کاملRelating small airways to asthma control by using impulse oscillometry in children.
BACKGROUND Previous reports suggest that the peripheral airways are associated with asthma control. Patient history, although subjective, is used largely to assess asthma control in children because spirometric results are many times normal values. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is an objective and noninvasive measurement of lung function that has the potential to examine independently both small- ...
متن کاملStudy the mechanical pulmonary changes in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) by impulse oscillometry.
BACKGROUND Heart failure is one of the most leading cause of death worldwide, but the mechanical characteristics of the pulmonary system in these patients have not been studied enough. The aim of this study was to measure mechanical pulmonary changes in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) by using impulse oscillometry (IOS), which can obtain data by simpler means and independently from...
متن کاملPeripheral airway impairment measured by oscillometry predicts loss of asthma control in children.
BACKGROUND We previously showed that impulse oscillometry (IOS) indices of peripheral airway function are associated with asthma control in children. However, little data exist on whether dysfunction in the peripheral airways can predict loss of asthma control. OBJECTIVE We sought to determine the utility of peripheral airway impairment, as measured by IOS, in predicting loss of asthma contro...
