Airway Oscillometry

Oscillometry is a noninvasive method of measuring respiratory mechanical properties that utilizes pressure waves applied to the mouth during tidal breathing across a range of frequencies.  While oscillometry has been studied extensively over several decades, questions remain on how to best interpret these measurements across a variety of conditions.  In ongoing studies, we are exploring how different airway diseases, including asthma and vocal cord dysfunction, impact oscillometry measurements.
