Abstract: Lung function testing in small children is cumbersome. However, reduced variability of tidal breathing recorded using impedance pneumography (IP) during sleep was recently found to be a potential objective marker of wheeze in children aged… read more here.

Abstract: The Lancet Asthma Commission calls for objective measurements to support asthma diagnosis, especially for children [1]. The expiratory variability index (EVI) is a novel method of testing lung function that can be measured passively at… read more here.
