چکیده
The objective of this paper is to present recent results within an investigation on human respiratory mechanics. The overall aim is to provide a fast method for identification of airway mechanics, in order to assist the medical staff in obtaining a diagnosis of the patient. Some ideas for a novel detection of respiratory mechanics parameters are presented, as well as preliminary experimental results, indicating the future potential of the method. Copyright © 2005 IFAC

The forced oscillation technique in clinical practice: methodology, recommendations and future developments.
The forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a noninvasive method with which to measure respiratory mechanics. FOT employs small-amplitude pressure oscillations superimposed on the normal breathing and therefore has the advantage over conventional lung function techniques that it does not require the performance of respiratory manoeuvres. The present European Respiratory Society Task Force Report ...
متن کاملForced oscillations and respiratory system modeling in adults with cystic fibrosis
BACKGROUND The Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) has the potential to increase our knowledge about the biomechanical changes that occur in Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Thus, the aims of this study were to investigate changes in the resistive and reactive properties of the respiratory systems of adults with CF. METHODS The study was conducted in a group of 27 adults with CF over 18 years old and a c...
متن کاملExploring respiratory mechanics by forced oscillations: principles and pitfalls.
Submitting a physical system to forced oscillations is a very general approach to investigation of its structure and/or properties. Its application to respiratory mechanics was first proposed by DuBors et al. in 1956 [1], but it has also been used in other fields of respiratory physiology, e.g. to investigate the control of breathing and the response to exercise. As used in respiratory mechanic...
متن کاملForced oscillation technique in the detection of smoking‐induced respiratory alterations: diagnostic accuracy and comparison with spirometry
INTRODUCTION Detection of smoking effects is of utmost importance in the prevention of cigarette-induced chronic airway obstruction. The forced oscillation technique offers a simple and detailed approach to investigate the mechanical properties of the respiratory system. However, there have been no data concerning the use of the forced oscillation technique to evaluate respiratory mechanics in ...
متن کاملForced expiration: a test for airflow obstruction in horses.
The purpose of this study was to assess whether our method of inducing forced expiration detects small airway obstruction in horses. Parameters derived from forced expiratory flow-volume (FEFV) curves were compared with lung mechanics data obtained during spontaneous breathing in nine healthy horses, in three after histamine challenge, and in two with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD...
