Forced oscillation technique4
  • In addition, all participants performed pulmonary function tests including spirometry, body plethysmography, diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide, and the forced oscillation technique. (rcjournal.com)
  • While the hyperaerated regions correlated with the functional markers of gas retention in the lungs (increased residual volume (RV) and RV/TLC ratio), the poorly aerated regions correlated with the resistive parameters measured by the forced oscillation technique (increased intercept resistance and mean resistance). (rcjournal.com)
  • In mice, it is usually performed using forced oscillation technique (FOT), negative pressure-driven forced expiratory (NPFE) and pressure-volume (PV) curve maneuvers. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Single frequency Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) measurements fitted to single compartment model allow to only measure resistance (Rrs) and compliance (Crs) of the respiratory system, whereas broadband FOT measurements fitted to constant phase model distinguish airway and tissue mechanics by quantifying tissue damping (G), tissue elastance (H) and the resistance of the central airways (Rn) [ 7 ].
