Forced oscillation using impulse oscillometry provides objective responses to corticosteroids in asthmatic patients when FEV1 fails to improve. Conclusions: As forced oscillation technique is automatic and can measure multiple breaths over long periods, it is suitable for monitoring expiratory flow limitation continuously and identifying patients’ breathing close to the onset of expiratory flow limitation, where intermittent sampling may be unrepresentative.
