“…Although oscillometry is a promising tool, its routine use in the clinical setting is complicated by several barriers. Much of the evidence for the clinical utility of oscillometry is supported by heterogeneous and mostly small cross-sectional studies [8]. The equipment and specific techniques vary across studies which impacts how output variables compare.…”

“…Across commercially available devices, progressive differences in output variables as impedance increases have been observed [10]. Reference equations are available, but are mostly derived from White adults [11] and are not likely generalizable to multiethnic populations [1,8]. Table 1 lists some of the advantages and disadvantages of oscillometry (Table 1…”

“…The technical standards document does not propose bronchoprovocation cut-off values due to studies reporting widely variable results [2]. A major appeal of the use of oscillometry in this case is the potential for increased sensitivity in detecting bronchoconstriction [1,8]. This high sensitivity of oscillometry continues to be demonstrated by recent studies, with less methacholine needed to www.co-pulmonarymedicine.com achieve a positive test, and baseline abnormal oscillometry predicting positive methacholine testing by spirometry [25].…”

Purpose of review Oscillometry is a noninvasive pulmonary function test that has gained significant interest in the evaluation of lung disease. Currently, oscillometry is primarily a research tool, but there is a growing body of evidence supporting its clinical use. This review describes the recent work evaluating the role of oscillometry in the diagnosis and treatment of asthma. Recent findings A large body of observational data supports the ability of oscillometry to distinguish healthy individuals from those with respiratory symptoms or lung disease. Oscillometry may not be as useful as an isolated diagnostic test in asthma, but the combination with other pulmonary function tests may improve its diagnostic ability. Oscillometry can detect peripheral airways dysfunction in asthma, which is associated with symptoms and the risk for exacerbations. To help guide future research, minimal clinically important differences for specific oscillometry variables have been developed. Oscillometry may be useful in monitoring the response to biological therapy and has potential for personalizing treatment for individual patients. Oscillometry also has potential in uncovering unique aspects of the pathophysiology of asthma in obesity. Summary Oscillometry is a promising tool in the diagnosis and management of asthma. More research is needed to support its routine clinical use.

Oscillometry, a non-invasive technique for assessing lung function, has gained significant recognition and importance in modern pulmonary medicine. This comprehensive review thoroughly explores its principles, applications, advantages, limitations, recent innovations, and future directions. Oscillometry's primary strength lies in its ability to offer a holistic assessment of lung mechanics. Unlike traditional spirometry, oscillometry captures the natural airflow during quiet breathing, making it suitable for patients of all ages and those with severe respiratory conditions. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of airway resistance, reactance, and compliance, offering insights into lung function that were previously challenging to obtain. In clinical practice, oscillometry finds extensive application in diagnosing and managing respiratory diseases. It plays a pivotal role in asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and interstitial lung diseases. By detecting subtle changes in lung function before symptoms manifest, oscillometry facilitates early interventions, improving disease management and patient outcomes. Oscillometry's noninvasive and patient-friendly nature is precious in pediatric care, where traditional spirometry may be challenging for young patients. It aids in diagnosing and monitoring pediatric respiratory disorders, ensuring that children receive the care they need from an early age. Despite its many advantages, oscillometry faces challenges, such as the need for standardized protocols and the complexity of data interpretation. However, ongoing efforts to establish global standards and provide education and training for healthcare professionals aim to address these issues. Looking ahead, oscillometry holds great promise in the field of personalized medicine. With its ability to tailor treatment plans based on individualized lung function data, healthcare providers can optimize therapy selection and dosing, ultimately improving patient care and quality of life. In conclusion, oscillometry is poised to play an increasingly pivotal role in modern pulmonary medicine. As standardization efforts continue and technology evolves, it is an indispensable tool in the clinician's arsenal for diagnosing, managing, and personalizing respiratory care, ultimately leading to improved patient outcomes and better respiratory health.

In this review, early career and senior members of assembly 5 (airway diseases) aimed to present key recent findings pertinent to airway diseases presented during European Respiratory Society (ERS) congress 2023 in Milan, with a particular focus on asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic cough, and bronchiectasis. During this year's Congress, an increased number of symposia, workshops, and abstract presentations were organized. Seven hundred and thirty-nine abstracts were submitted for Assembly 5 and the majority of these, were presented by early career members. These data highlight the increased interest in this group of respiratory diseases.
