The Forced Oscillation Technique in Paediatric Respiratory Practice

Paediatric Respiratory Reviews
Eleni SkylogianniSotirios Fouzas

Abstract

The Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) is a lung function modality based on the application of an external oscillatory signal in order to determine the mechanical response of the respiratory system. The method is in principal noninvasive and requires minimal patient cooperation, which makes it suitable for use in young paediatric patients. The FOT has been successfully applied in various paediatric respiratory disorders, such as asthma, cystic fibrosis, and chronic lung disease of prematurity, in order to assess airway obstruction, bronchodilator response, and airway responsiveness after bronchoprovocation challenge. This technique may be more sensitive than spirometry in identifying disturbances of peripheral airways and assessing the level of asthma control or the effectiveness of therapy at the long term. Further research is required to determine the exact role of the FOT in paediatric lung function testing and to incorporate the method in specific diagnostic and management algorithms.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
