The clinical application of impulse oscillometry in children with asthma / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Bronchial asthma is a common chronic respiratory disease in childhood.Lung function test is helpful for the diagnosis, treatment and dynamic monitoring of patients with asthma.Impulse oscillometry(IOS)has received more and more attention in the diagnosis and treatment of bronchial asthma because of its relatively simple operation requirements and the uniqueness of airway function detection.However, the clinical significance of IOS examination in clinical practice is not yet completely clear, and there is no consensus on clinical application.This article makes a review of IOS examination in the diagnosis, airway hyperreactivity test, asthma control and treatment of asthma in children, in order to help clinicians to make rational use of IOS examination.
