Oscillometry: a substitute of spirometry in children with neuromuscular diseases?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Pediatric pulmonology"
DOI: 10.1002/ppul.25923
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Spirometry plays an important role in the assessment of possible respiratory failure in children with neuromuscular diseases (NMDs). However, obtaining reliable spirometry results is a major challenge. We studied the relation between oscillometry and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ppul.26045
Abstract: Spirometry provides a quantitative measure of lung function and its use is recommended as an adjunct to enhance pediatric respiratory healthcare in many clinical practice guidelines. However, there is limited evidence confirming the benefits (or… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11739-021-02889-4
Abstract: Extrinsic causes of restrictive lung syndrome in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients have been poorly investigated. We aimed to investigate the influence of the anterior chest wall deformity, noninvasively assessed by modified Haller index (MHI),… read more here.
