Before And After

We investigated the impedance of excised preparations of the human larynx before and after resection of the vocal cords and of the trachea whether or not in connection with the main bronchi for steady (75–700 ml.s-1) and oscillatory flows (4–64 Hz). To simulate the influence of respiratory flow on oscillatory resistance (Rosc), oscillatory and steady flow were superimposed. This resulted in a marked increase of Rosc, dependent on the value of steady flow, a change of the frequency dependence of Rosc, and a decrease of the reactance. The latter effects were particularly pronounced in the preparations of the larynx, especially with a narrow glottis opening. The influence of steady flow on oscillatory resistances is probably the expression of interactions of steady and oscillatory flow regimes in the larynx. Similar but less pronounced interactions are also met in the trachea. These effects lead to a systematic overestimation of upper airway resistance when measured during spontaneous breathing by means of a forced oscillation technique.

We have modified the measurements of the resistance of the respiratory system, Rrs, by the forced oscillation technique and we have developed equipment to automatically compute Rrs. Flow rate and mouth pressure are treated by selective averaging filters that remove the interference of the subject's respiratory flow on the imposed oscillations. The filtered mean Rrs represents a weighted ensemble average computer over both inspiration and expiration. This method avoids aberrant Rrs values, decreases the variability, and yields an unbiased mean Rrs. Rrs may be measured during slow or rapid spontaneous breathing, in normals and in obstructive patients, over a range of 3–9 Hz. A good reproducibility of Rrs at several days' interval was demonstrated. Frequency dependence of Rrs was found in patients with obstructive lung disease but not in healthy nonsmokers.

Alternative Modality

Spirometry is considered the gold standard method for monitoring lung function of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) but it requires patients’ cooperation and therefore it is not useful for the majority of preschool-aged children. Oscillometry is an alternative modality for lung function monitoring that requires minimal cooperation and can be applied in children as young as 3 years of age. Furthermore, it generates lesser aerosol compared to spirometry, an issue that is of considerable importance in the COVID-19 era. The aim of this review was to present the existing clinical data regarding the application of oscillometry in children and adolescents with CF. The method seems to have acceptable feasibility and repeatability. However, there is conflicting data regarding the correlation of oscillometry values with the clinical symptoms of CF patients either in clinically stable or in exacerbation periods. Furthermore, it is not clear to what extent oscillometry measurements correlate with the spirometry indices. Based on current evidence, spirometry cannot be substituted by oscillometry in the monitoring of the respiratory status of children and adolescents with CF.
