Methods: RI under normal respiration and during deep slow respira tion was measured one after the other with impulse oscillometry for 8 patients with COPD and for 9 healthy volunteers as control. Results: When r espiration was changed from normal pattern to the deep slow pattern, the tida l volume increased and respiratory frequency significantly decreased in both gro ups , the total respiratory impedance (Z respir) showed a decreasing trend in COPD group, but with no obvious change in the control group. No chang e in the resonant frequency (fres) was found in both groups, and the respiratory viscous resistance obviously decreased in the COPD group(R5: P =0.0168 ; R20: P =0.0498; R5—R20: P =0.0388),though in the control group it was unchanged. Conclusion: IOS detection could reflect the response he terogeneity of different compartments of respiratory system during tidal breathi ng. During deep slow respiration, the viscous resistance in both central airw ay and peripheral airway was decreased in patients with COPD. RI measurement by impulse oscillometry may be a convenient pathophysiological method for studying the application of breathing exercise in patients with COPD.展开更多

Methods：Respiratory impedance was measured by impulse oscillometry （lOS） in 41 cases at stage 0 of COPD （NHLBI/WHO, 2001 Standard） and their conventional pulmonary function values were compared with 42 healthy subjects. Both groups had no significant deviation in age, stature and avoirdupois, etc. Master-Screen pulmonary function test system （Jaeger Co, Germany） were used to determine IOS parameters including viscous resistance of 5Hz, 20 Hz and 35Hz （R5, R20, R35）, reactance of 5Hz, 35 Hz （X3, X35）, resonant frequency （Fres） ,total respiratory impedance （Zrs） and routine pulmonary function values including forced expiratory volume in one second to predicted value （FEV1 % ）, forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity ratio（ FEV1/ FVC% ）, maximal mid expiratory flow （MMEF%）,V23% and V50%. Results：Both groups had no significant deviation in FEV1%, FEV1/FVC% and X35（P〉0.05）. It was increased significantly in viscous resistance of 5Hz, 20 Hz and 35Hz （R5, R20, R35） in COPD group than that in healthy group （P〈0.01）. So were Fres and Zrs （P〈0.01）. MMEF%,V25%,V50% and reactance of 5Hz （X5） in COPD group were marked lower than that in healthy group （P〈0.01）. The sensitivity of MMEF%, V25%,V50% was higher than others, but its specificity was lower. In parameters of IOS, Fres was the most sensitive index for diagnosis of the small airway function and its specificity was higher than that of MMEF%, V25% ,V50%. Conclusion：In the risk case at the stage 0 of COPD, MMEF%, V25% and V50% could be decreased, but Fres, R5 ,R5-20 could be increased in spite of FEV1% and FEV1/FVC% in normal range.展开更多
