Spirometry, a gold standard technique for measuring lung functions, has been restricted to a select cohort of patients in current COVID-19 pandemic due to the enhanced risk of disease dissemination. To monitor pulmonary functions in various obstructive (e.g., asthma) and restrictive diseases (e.g., COVID-19 pneumonia) on in- and out-patients serially, there is an urgent requirement of an alternate reliable test. Impulse Oscillometry (IOS) measures lung functions by working at tidal volumes and thus reduces the risk of potential aerosol generation. Feasibility of IOS in smaller children and its ability to detect parenchymal and peripheral airway involvement are other advantages over conventional spirometry. IOS could be a potential solution to periodically monitor lung functions in current pandemic situation to keep a check on diseases affecting lung functionality.
