The application of impulse oscillation system for the evaluation of treatment effects in patients with COPD

Highlights • We applied IOS for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment in COPD patients. • Significant improvements in IOS and spirometric measurements were observed. • There were no significant correlations between improvements in IOS and spirometric measurements. • IOS may provide a physiologic...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We applied IOS for evaluating the effectiveness of treatment in COPD patients. • Significant improvements in IOS and spirometric measurements were observed. • There were no significant correlations between improvements in IOS and spirometric measurements. • IOS may provide a physiological point of view that is different from spirometry. • IOS seemed to be applicable as an additional assessment tool targeting COPD patients.
