A study conducted by researchers at the State University of Rio de Janeiro explores the use of respiratory oscillometry exams to analyze lung function in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD). The study found that oscillometry exams, which require only quiet tidal breathing, can provide a detailed analysis of respiratory mechanics and simplify the diagnosis of respiratory abnormalities in PD. The research also identified specific changes in respiratory function associated with different stages of PD, including increased peripheral resistance and a restrictive ventilatory pattern. The findings suggest that oscillometry may be a valuable tool for detecting and monitoring respiratory changes in PD patients. [Extracted from the article] |
