Abstract
Background
The forced oscillation technique (FOT) enables non-invasive measurement of respiratory system impedance. Limited data exists on how changes in operating lung volume (OLV) impact FOT-derived measures of airway resistance (Rrs) and reactance (Xrs).
Objectives
This study examined the reproducibility and responsiveness of FOT-derived measures of Rrs and Xrs during simulated changes in OLV.
Methods
Participants simulated breathing at six OLVs: total lung capacity (TLC), ∼50% of inspiratory reserve volume (IRV50), ∼two-times tidal volume (VT2), tidal volume (VT), ∼50% of expiratory reserve volume (ERV50), and residual volume (RV), on a commercially available FOT device. Each simulated OLV manuever was performed in triplicate and in random order. Total Rrs and Xrs were recorded at 5, 11, and 19 Hz.
Results
Twelve healthy participants (2 female) completed the study (weight: 76.5 ± 13.6 kg, height: 178.6 ± 9.7 cm, body mass index: 23.9 ± 3.1 kg/m2). Reproducibility of Rrs and Xrs at VT, VT2 and IRV50 was good to excellent (Range: ICC: 0.89–0.98, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.70–0.98), while reproducibility at TLC, RV, and ERV50 was poor to excellent (Range: ICC: 0.60–0.98, 95% CI: 0.36–0.97). Rrs and Xrs were not different between VT and VT2 at any frequency (P > .05). With lung hyperinflation from VT to TLC, Rrs and Xrs decreased at all three frequencies (e.g., At 5 Hz Rrs: mean difference (MD): − 0.89, 95%CI: − 0.03 to − 1.75, P = .04; Xrs: MD: − 0.56, 95%CI: − 0.25 to − 0.86, P < .01). With lung hypoinflated from VT to RV, Rrs increased, and Xrs decreased for all frequencies (e.g., MD at 5 Hz, Rrs: MD: 2.31, 95%CI: 0.94–3.67, P < .01; Xrs: MD: −2.53, 95%CI: −4.02 to −1.04, P < .01).
Conclusion
FOT-derived measures of airway Rrs and Xrs are reproducible across a range of OLV’s, and are responsive to hyper- and hypo-inflation of the lung. To further understand the impact of lung hyper- and hypo-inflation on FOT-derived airway impedance additional study is required in individuals with pathological variations in operating lung volume.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
