Abstract
We have assessed diagnostic value of impulse oscillometry for recognition of early respiratory dysfunction in asthmatic adolescents. There were 242 adolescents aged 10 to 17 under the supervision. Of them, 223 had mild stable asthma and 19 were as controls without respiratory dysfunction. According to clinical features, asthma control level and treatment all the asthmatic adolescents were subdivided into 5 groups. Lung ventilation was examined with MasterScreenBody (Erich Jaeger, Gmbh) MasterIOS including impulse oscillometry and spirometry. The impulse oscillometry can be very helpful in assessment of severity and location of respiratory obstruction in asthmatic adolescent with normal spirometric parameters.
