Comparison of Flowmetric Plethysmography and Forced Oscillatory Mechanics to Measure Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Horses

Comparison of Flowmetric Plethysmography and Forced Oscillatory Mechanics to Measure Airway Hyperresponsiveness in Horses

Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is linked to airway inflammation and is considered a key manifestation of mild/moderate equine asthma (EA). The study purpose was to determine whether two modalities of non-invasive lung function testing (FOM—forced oscillatory mechanics vs. FP—flowmetric plethysmogr...
