Comparison of Respiratory Resistance Measurements Made with an Airflow Perturbation Device with Those from Impulse Oscillometry

Table 3

All subjects showed high linearity between APD-measured respiratory resistance and IOS-measured respiratory resistance, as indicated by strong goodness of fit coefficients. In addition, all subjects also showed slight overestimation by the APD compared with IOS R5.
