Impulse Oscillometry, New Trend in Pulmonary Function Testing

Overview

Impulse oscillometry is a noninvasive procedure that can be performed within few minutes. The purpose of the procedure is to measure the resistance of the small and large airways, as well as the reactants of the airways. In contrast to spirometry, the test performs measurement during tidal breathing.

What I will learn?

• By the end of the session, learners will be able to:
  Define impulse oscillometry (IOS) fundamentals and how the IOS system operates.
  Clarify the IOS indications and advantages.
  Describe what are the measured IOS Parameters, how to interpret each parameter and its relation to lung mechanics.
  Recognize the IOS variability and its limitations.
