ABSTRACT

The proceedings contain 360 papers. The topics discussed include comparison of three methods assessing spirometry bronchodilator responsiveness in children;the quality of spirometry testing a systematic review;airflow severity in asthma minimally affects within-session oscillometry variability;corrected normative multiple breath washout data in pre-school aged children;prevalence and predictors of tidal expiratory-flow-limitation in healthy adolescents/young adults;impact of change of significant bronchodilator response definition;volume-dependence of reactance as a measure of ventilation inhomogeneity;mechanisms of impaired gas exchange following hospitalization for severe COVID-19;increased shunt and dead space in recovered COVID-19 pneumonitis patients;airway hyperresponsiveness detection in atopic asthma using exhaled nitric oxide;increased conductive ventilation heterogeneity following exposure to coal-mine fire smoke;accuracy of transcutaneous carbon dioxide monitoring during sleep studies;and effect of hematopoietic stem cell transplant on small airways function.
