The Potential Added Value of Impulse Oscillometry in Asthma Monitoring

This includes spirometry, body plethysmography and single breath gas transfer test. These are all non-invasive physiological measurements / lung function tests. Measures flow volumes, lung volumes and gas transfer respectively.

Non-invasive physiological measurement / lung function test. 100% oxygen is inhaled and the nitrogen concentration in the lungs is measured. This test gives information on the ventilation distribution in the lungs.

Non-invasive physiological measurement / lung function test. This technique superimposes sound waves on tidal breathing. The patient can breathe normally trough the device, no forced respiratory maneuvers are required. It gives information on the reactance and resistance of the lung.
