title: [Forced oscillation technique in respiratory system studies. I. Theoretical basis, interpretation of results. Equipment].
abstract: The paper presents short description of the forced oscillation technique--a noninvasive technique used to examine respiratory mechanics. The setup, interpretation of the results and also advantages and disadvantages of that technique in measurement and interpretation of human respiratory input impedance are described.
