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.
