• Description:
  Detection of airway disease by physiologic testing was initially described using spirometry to determine vital capacity and expiratory airflow under maximal effort to distinguish obstructive from restrictive disease processes. Subsequently, Dubois and colleagues demonstrated direct assessment of airway resistance using plethysmography and in a separate publication described the precursor of the forced oscillation technique to measure respiratory system resistance. This review addresses the question of whether direct assessment of resistance by forced oscillation provides diagnostic information equivalent or superior to standard assessment of airflow rates by spirometry.
