Abstract
A commercially available forced oscillation unit was used to perform pulmonary function testing in 90 healthy children, aged 4 to 7 years. Normal values for resistance and reactance of the respiratory system, resonant frequency, and frequency dependence are reported. The implications of each of the forced oscillation parameters, and their potential usefulness as objective measures of pulmonary function in young children, are discussed.
