Resumen

BACKGROUND

The forced oscillation technique (FOT) measures respiratory impedance during normal tidal breathing and requires minimal patient cooperation.

OBJECTIVE

To compare IOS and AOS devices in patients with asthma and COPD.

METHODS

We compared two different FOT devices, namely impulse oscillometry using a loudspeaker (IOS: Jaeger Masterscreen) and airwave oscillometry using a vibrating mesh (AOS: Thorasys Tremoflo) for pre- and post-bronchodilator measurements in 84 patients with asthma and COPD.

RESULTS

The overall pattern of measurement bias was for higher resistance with IOS and higher reactance with AOS, this being the case in asthma and COPD separately. There were small but significantly higher values using IOS for resistance at 5 Hz (R5) and 20(19) Hz (R20(19)). In converse, values for reactance at 5 Hz (X5), reactance area (AX) and resonant frequency (Fres)
