  • Title: [Forced oscillation technique in the study of a bronchial response in patients with tuberculosis during drug test using berotec].
    Author: Vakhminova LG, Zhukova EM.
    Journal: Probl Tuberk Bolezn Legk; 2006; (7):41-3. PubMed ID: 16944714.
    Abstract:
    A comparative study of the data obtained from the use of forced oscillation (FO) technique, spirography (SG), flow-forced expiratory volume (F-FEC) curve recording has provided evidence that the FO technique is highly effective in assessing a drug test. The FO technique revealed changes in bronchial patency in 69.5% of patients with bronchial obstruction whereas F-FEV recording indicated this pathology only in 42.4% (p < 0.05). A concurrent use of the pooled values of viscous respiratory resistance, SG, F-FEV curve to assess the results of a broncholytic test could diagnose bronchospasm in 79.7% of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis with impaired bronchial patiency.
