Why Is Body Plethysmography with a Booth the Gold Standard?

Body Plethysmography booth

While spirometry is the most commonly used method for evaluating pulmonary function in clinical practice, there are times when it’s necessary to measure the volume of air the lungs cannot displace (static lung volumes). This is why body plethysmography with a booth remains an essential technique in pulmonary function testing. The first test was conducted […]

Whole Body Plethysmography: A Complete Guide to Lung Volume Analysis

Body Plethysmography booth

The body plethysmography test is the only precise way to measure lung volumes. With advancements in technology, including ultrasonic flow measurement, modern body plethysmography machines can detect even the smallest changes in pulmonary function. In this article, you’ll find scientific evidence explaining why cabin-based body plethysmography offers unique advantages that establish it as the gold […]

How to Choose a Body Plethysmograph

Body Plethysmograph Buyer’s Guide

Body plethysmography is a non-invasive and indispensable method for obtaining detailed information about lung volumes and airway function—data that other pulmonary function tests cannot provide. With the increasing prevalence of respiratory diseases such as asthma, COPD, and the lasting effects of COVID-19, the need for reliable and precise diagnostic tools has never been greater. A […]

Advanced Oscillometry Insights: Managing Asthma and COPD

The role of oscllometry to treat COPD and asthma

Oscillometry is a non-invasive method for measuring the mechanical properties of the respiratory system, which can enhance our understanding and management of lung diseases such as asthma and COPD. This technique offers special advantages in situations where spirometry and other lung function tests are not suitable for patients, such as infants, people with neuromuscular diseases, […]

Pulmonary diseases: when the profession is a risk

OCCUPATIONAL LUNG HEALTH

Many professions carry the risk of developing pulmonary diseases. The lungs are organs with an extensive surface area, high vascularity, and a thin barrier between air and blood. This structure makes them a contact site for environmental agents, many of which have local and/or systemic or immunological toxic effects. Exposures to toxic substances can cause […]

Clinical Benefits of Oscillometry in Respiratory Assessment

Clinical benefits of oscillometry

Oscillometry is a non-invasive method to measure the mechanical properties of the respiratory system. This diagnostic tool enhances the valuable contributions of spirometry for the diagnosis, assessment, and monitoring of respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD. In this article, we will discuss the clinical advantages of oscillometry as a complementary method to spirometry. We […]

Asthma: Exploring its Impactful Figures

asthma

According to the GINA Guide 2019, asthma is estimated to affect 300 million people worldwide. In fact, it is one of the most common and costly diseases in the United States. It consists of diffuse inflammation of the airways caused by various stimuli, which cause a partial or completely reversible bronchoconstriction. Symptoms and signs include […]

The GINA Guide 2022: summary of the main updates for asthma management

2022 GINA GUIDE FOR ASTHMA MANAGEMENT

Keeping up with the latest advancements in the field of pulmonology is key for providing optimal care to patients, particularly those suffering from asthma. In this blog post, we make a summary of the recently updated 2022 Global Initiative for Asthma (GINA) Guide, highlighting key changes and advancements that pulmonologists need to be aware of. […]

Advantages of spirometry to differentiate asthma from COPD

spirometry test

Asthma and COPD are clearly differentiated… on paper. But in real life, diagnosing one or the other isn’t as straightforward as the books say. It is very common for patients to present symptoms that are very common in both diseases. The study “Diagnostic differentiation between asthma and COPD in primary care using lung function testing” […]
