Obstruction; Airway, With Asthma
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the association of signals recorded and analysed with Ventica® LFTS in infants and preschoolers during acute airway obstruction/asthma exacerbation and recovery thereof for changes in the IP-derived TBFV curves within and between nights.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Age 1-7 * Diagnosis of acute airway obstruction or asthma exacerbation requiring inpatient treatment

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Association between clinical status and tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) curves | 2-4 nights while at ward | Assess the association between clinical status and changes in tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) curves measured overnight with Ventica(R) Lung Function Testing System |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Association between lung function and tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) curves | 2-4 nights while at ward and 2 + 2 nights after discharge from hospital | Assess the association between lung function (spirometry or oscillometry) and changes in tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) curves measured overnight with Ventica(R) Lung Function Testing System |
| Association between asthma control and tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) curves | 2 + 2 nights after discharge from hospital | Assess the association between asthma control (C-ACT questionnaire) and changes in tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) curves measured overnight with Ventica(R) Lung Function Testing System |
