Evaluating Deep Breathing in Health Participants Using a Device Called Impulse Oscillometry

University of Rochester20 enrolled

Overview

This study will determine if resistance of the airway to airflow and pressure, measured by Impulse Oscillometry, is impacted by a deep breathe maneuver in a small cohort of healthy human subjects.

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Enrollment

Conditions

Breathing, Mouth Lung Function Decreased

Interventions

Impulse OscillometerDEVICE

The tremoFlo C-100 Airwave Oscillometry System is intended to measure respiratory system impedance using the Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT).

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Mean respiratory system impedance

The oscillometer will collect an airway impedance measurement which is made up of multiple variables.

Time frame: pre deep inspiration, approximately day 1

Mean respiratory system resistance

The oscillometer will collect an airway impedance measurement which is made up of multiple variables.

Time frame: post deep inspiration, approximately day 1

Mean change in respiratory system resistance

The oscillometer will collect an airway impedance measurement which is made up of multiple variables.

Time frame: post and pre deep inspiration, approximately day 1
