Oscillation Mechanics of the Respiratory System Asbestos Exposed: Early Diagnosis

NCT02280343 · Status: UNKNOWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2

Last updated 2015-07-01

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Inhalation of dust containing asbestos results in a process of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis called asbestosis. The Forced Oscillation Technique (FOT) evaluates the respiratory mechanics describing resistive, elastic and inertial properties. We believe that this technique may contribute to the early diagnosis of asbestosis.
