Forced oscillations in the clinical setting in young children with neonatal lung disease.
The extent of respiratory dysfunction is not well characterised in children with neonatal chronic lung disease (nCLD) too young to perform spirometry. Forced oscillations are easily performed by healthy young children; however, they may be more difficult for those with nCLD. The present study aimed to describe the feasibility of using the forced oscillation technique in children with nCLD in a ...
متن کاملAssessment of bronchodilator responsiveness in preschool children using forced oscillations.
BACKGROUND The forced oscillation technique (FOT) requires minimal patient cooperation and is feasible in preschool children. Few data exist on respiratory function changes measured using FOT following inhaled bronchodilators (BD) in healthy young children, limiting the clinical applications of BD testing in this age group. A study was undertaken to determine the most appropriate method of quan...
متن کاملRespiratory function in healthy young children using forced oscillations.
BACKGROUND Monitoring of respiratory function is important in the diagnosis and management of respiratory disease. The forced oscillation technique requires minimal patient cooperation and is ideal for the determination of respiratory function in young children. This study aimed to develop reference ranges and to document the repeatability in healthy young children using commercially available ...
متن کاملRespiratory impedance in children with cystic fibrosis using forced oscillations in clinic.
Measurement of lung function is an important component of clinical management in cystic fibrosis (CF), but has been difficult in young children. The present study aimed to characterise the utility of the forced oscillation technique for measurement of lung function in preschool-aged children with CF in a routine clinical setting. Lung function was assessed in 56 young children (aged 2-7 yrs) wi...
متن کاملHow "healthy" should children be when selecting reference samples for spirometry?
How "healthy" do children need to be when selecting reference samples for spirometry? Anthropometry and spirometry were measured in an unselected, multi-ethnic population of school children aged 5-11 years in London, UK, with follow-up assessments 12 months later. Parents provided information on children's birth data and health status. Forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital cap...
