IOS Resistance Components


Airway Resistance (R) is both measured and reported in multiple frequencies.

The x-axis shows the different frequencies, with 5-20 being the most relevant for the airway.


Resistance at 20Hz:
Central Resistance (Rc)

Resistance at 5 Hz:

Total Resistance (Rc +Rp)

R (5Hz)- R(20Hz):

Peripheral resistance
