Characterisation of Baseline and Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction by Airway Oscillometry: Results of a Multi-Centre Cross-Sectional Study

PurposeBaseline and chronic lung allograft dysfunction (BLAD & CLAD) are leading causes of reduced patient survival. Airway oscillometry characterises the lung's mechanical properties with greater sensitivity than spirometry. This study aims to characterise BLAD and CLAD with airway oscillometry.MethodsOscillometry was performed on all bilateral lung transplant (LTx) recipients at 2 Australian centres between Jan-Oct 2020 with the TremoFlo C-100...
