Ability of Impulse Oscillometry to Predict Loss of Asthma Control During Pollution Period in Previously Stable Patients

Key Points

• The aim is to determine if impulse oscillometry can predict loss of asthma control during pollution periods in stable patients.
• Used impulse oscillometry to assess asthma control
• Monitored periods of air pollution
• Evaluated previously stable asthma patients
• Impulse oscillometry did not predict loss of asthma control during pollution
• Findings apply to patients who were previously stable
