Función pulmonar oscilometría de impulso en pediatría: procedimiento y aplicación clínica

La Oscilometría de Impulso (IOS) es una técnica no invasiva que evalúa las propiedades mecánicas de todo el sistema respiratorio durante la respiración tranquila. Mide la impedancia total del sistema respiratorio, evaluando la resistencia total de la vía aérea, la resiste...

Técnica de oscilações forçadas na avaliação e manejo de crianças asmáticas: uma revisão narrativa

Asthma is considered the most prevalent chronic disease in children. The pulmonary function measurements are important in the evaluation of the disease, being able to confirm the diagnosis by demonstrating the reversibility of the obstruction as well as detecting risks of poor prognosis in the control of...

Tonometric and Oscillometric Methods for Measurement of Central Blood Pressure Parameters: a Comparison in Patients with Borderline Hypertension or Stage 1 Hypertension

Abstract Background Changes in arterial compliance are among the first changes detectable in hypertensive syndrome. Methods with good reproducibility as compared with the gold standard for identifying such changes are desirable in clinical practice. Objectives To compare central pressure measurements...

Therapeutic blowing toys: does the overlap of ventilatory stimuli alter the respiratory mechanics of healthy schoolchildren?

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify whether the overlapping of ventilatory stimuli, resulting from playing with blowing toys, changes the respiratory mechanics of healthy schoolchildren. Methods: Cross-sectional study with healthy schoolchildren aged seven to 14 years old from Florianópolis, Santa Catarin...

Cardiovascular Risk in Psoriasis Patients: Clinical, Functional and Morphological Parameters

Arq. bras. cardiol; 113 (2), 2019
Abstract Background: Psoriasis correlates with metabolic disorders, early atheromatosis and increased cardiovascular risk. Objectives: To assess markers of cardiovascular disease in psoriatic patients. Methods: Cross-sectional, observational study involving 11 psoriatic participants and 33 controls. A...

Blood pressure measurement by oscillometric and auscultatory methods in normotensive pregnant women

Rev. bras. enferm; 72 (supl.3), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: to compare blood pressure values obtained by auscultatory and oscillometric methods in different gestational periods, considering cuff width. Method: it is a cross-sectional and quasi-experimental study approved by the Research Ethics Committee. The sample consisted of 108 low-risk ...

Association between critical limb ischemia and arterial stiffness measured by brachial artery oscillometry

Background Elevated arterial stiffness is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality. The relationship between arterial stiffness and critical limb ischemia (CLI) is not well established. Objectives The objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between arterial stiffness indices a...

Impulse oscillometry and obesity in children

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 94 (4), 2018
Abstract Objective: To compare impulse oscillometry system parameters of normal-weight children with overweight and obese children. Method: All participants were submitted to the evaluation of lung function (spirometry and impulse oscillometry) following the American Thoracic Society standards. The eva...

Espirometría forzada versus oscilometría de impulso

Impulse oscillometry (IOS) is an emerging tool in the study of pulmonary function in respiratory diseases. In this review we compare its usefulness with that of forced spirometry in children. Although these techniques measure different mechanical properties of the respiratory system, -the first, resistan...

Avaliação da função pulmonar em crianças e adolescentes pelo sistema de oscilometria de impulso em três situações distintas: obesidade, exposição ao tabagismo passivo e teste de caminhada de seis minutos

Introdução: O sistema de oscilometria de impulso (IOS) é uma ferramenta de avaliação da função pulmonar, particularmente da mecânica respiratória. Envolve, em suas mensurações, parâmetros de resistência e reatância das vias aéreas, a partir de múltiplas frequências de 5 a 35 hertz, o que...
