Assessment of bronchodilator response by forced oscillation technique in a preterm infant with evolving bronchopulmonary dysplasia: A case report

Camilla Rigotti et al.

Summary: This article introduces a new method for the treatment of inhaled bronchodilators in preterm infants, which assesses the reversibility of airway obstruction through forced oscillation technique and provides important information in selecting the treatment targets.

Oscillatory mechanics at 36 weeks post-menstrual age as markers of lung disease in preterm infants: a cohort study

Emanuela Zannin et al.

Summary: Respiratory system resistance and reactance assessed using the forced oscillation technique at 36 weeks post-menstrual age are sensitive functional markers of the severity of lung disease in former preterm infants.

Oscillatory mechanics at birth for identifying infants requiring surfactant: a prospective, observational trial

Anna Lavizzari et al.

Summary: The study introduced a non-invasive assessment technique called Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) to predict the need for surfactant therapy in premature infants. Evaluating lung reactance (Xrs) within 2 hours of birth proved effective in identifying infants requiring surfactant therapy within 24 hours, thus improving respiratory management strategies for preterm infants.
