Expiratory reactance abnormalities in patients with expiratory dynamic airway collapse: a new application of impulse oscillometry

Expiratory dynamic airways collapse (EDAC) is a condition that affects the central airways; it is not well characterised physiologically, with relatively few studies. We sought to characterise impulse oscillometry (IOS) features of EDAC in patients with normal spirometry. Expiratory data were hypoth...
