A comparison of plethysmography, spirometry and oscillometry for assessing the pulmonary effects of inhaled ipratropium bromide in healthy subjects and patients with asthma

AIMS: We have compared the ability of plethysmography (sGaw), impulse oscillometry (IOS) and spirometry (FEV(1), MMEF) to detect bronchodilation in response to an anticholinergic. METHODS: IOS (R5, R20, X5, RF), sGaw and spirometry were measured in 12 healthy subjects and 12 asthmatics. Variability...
