When input impedance is determined by means of the forced oscillation technique, part of the oscillatory flow measured at the mouth is lost in the motion of the upper airway wall acting as a shunt. This is avoided by applying the oscillations around the subject’s head (head generator) rather than at the mouth (conventional technique). In seven wheezing infants, we compared both techniques to estimate the importance of the upper airway wall shunt impedance (Zuaw) for the interpretation of the conventional technique results. Computation of Zuaw required, in addition, estimation of nasal impedance values, which were drawn from previous measurements (K. N. Desager, M. Willemen, H. P. Van Bever, W. De Backer, and P. A. Vermeire. Pediatr. Pulmonol. 11: 1–7, 1991). Upper airway resistance and reactance at 12 Hz ranged from 40 to 120 and from 0 to −150 hPa ⋅ l−1 ⋅ s, respectively. Varying nasal impedance within the range observed in infants did not result in major changes in the estimates of Zuaw or lung impedance (Zl), the impedance of the respiratory system in parallel with Zuaw. The conventional technique underestimated Zl, depending on the value of Zuaw. The head generator technique slightly overestimated Zl, probably because the pressure gradient across the upper airway was not completely suppressed. Because of the need to enclose the head in a box (which is not required with the conventional technique), the head generator technique is difficult to perform in infants.

The usual impedance measurement by Fourier analysis leads to undetectable errors when applied to nonlinear fluid systems where a nonlinear pressure drop p = K X V2 adds to the linear pressure-flow relationship, but processing series of impedance data with various input levels allows the measurement of such systems. This new method has been tested on simulations, nonlinear resistances, and intubation tubings. It gives accurate estimates of the nonlinear coefficient K together with the true linear impedance of the measured system. This way, the usual respiratory impedance measurement may be applied to intubated patients, as the respiratory impedance of the subject can be separated from the nonlinear behavior of the endotracheal tube or cannula.
