“Oscillometry and Spirometry play ideally together in diagnosing a patient, as each method offers a complementary view to your patient’s breathing abilities and limitations.”
Oscillometry just requires
normal breathing
Oscillometry is very sensitive
for obstructive diseases like
Asthma or COPD
Always start with an
Oscillometry test

Always start with an
Oscillometry test
Oscillometry is a sensitive measure of the respiratory system resistance, also described as mechanics of breathing.
The measurement is obtained by applying small pressure pulses to the airways while the subject breaths normally through a mouthpiece / filter.
Advantages of using Oscillometry to assess the respiratory system
- It is easy for the patient and the staff to perform.
- It requires almost no patient effort except for normal resting breathing for <60 seconds.
- Staff training is quick and easy.
- It can be used to assess the response to inhaled bronchodilators or other medications.
- Our pattern recognition and interpretive decision trees aid in identification of obstructive, restrictive, and other breathing abnormalities.
Oscillometry parameters
- R5: resistance at 5 Hz, R5-20: resistance between 5 and 20 Hz
- X: reactance
- Resonant Frequency: The point where X crosses zero line
- Other: R10, R20, AX, inspiratory and expiratory resistances
Spirometry requires
a forced breathing maneuver
Spirometry should be performed if there is evidence of restriction from Oscillometry or elsewhere

Spirometry is a sensitive measure of the respiratory flow and volumes.
The measurement is obtained by a maximum expiration followed by a maximum inspiration.The patient performes a forced breathing maneuver.
Advantages of using spirometry to assess the respiratory system
- detection of restrictive limitations
Spirometry parameters
- FEV1: Forced Volume in the first second of expiration
- FVC: Forced Vital Capacity
- FEV1/FVC: Ratio FEV1/FVC
- Other: PEF, IVC and more
