Comparison of different analysis algorithms to calculate multiple-breath washout outcomes
Anagnostopoulou, Pinelopi; Kranz, Nadja; Wolfensberger, Jeremias; Guidi, Marisa; Nyilas, Sylvia; Koerner-Rettberg, Cordula; Yammine, Sophie; Singer, Florian; Latzin, Philipp (2018)Lung clearance index (LCI) is the main outcome of the multiple-breath washout (MBW) test. Current recommendations for LCI acquisition are based on low-grade evidence. The aim of this study was to challenge those recommendations ...

A multi-scale model of gas transport in the lung to study heterogeneous lung ventilation during the multiple-breath washout test
Hasler, David; Anagnostopoulou, Pinelopi; Nyilas, Sylvia; Latzin, Philipp; Schittny, Johannes; Obrist, Dominik (2019)The multiple-breath washout (MBW) is a lung function test that measures the degree of ventilation inhomogeneity (VI). The test is used to identify small airway impairment in patients with lung diseases like cystic fibrosis. ...

Respiratory rate in infants with cystic fibrosis throughout the first year of life and association with lung clearance index measured shortly after birth
Korten, Insa; Kieninger, Elisabeth; Yammine, Sophie; Cangiano, Giulia; Nyilas, Sylvia; Anagnostopoulou, Pinelopi; Singer, Florian; Kuehni, Claudia E.; Regamey, Nicolas; Frey, Urs; Casaulta, Carmen; Spycher, Ben D.; Latzin, Philipp; SCILD; BILD study group (2018)BACKGROUND: Lung impairment in cystic fibrosis (CF) starts in infancy. However, tools to monitor early lung disease are limited. Respiratory rate (RR) as a key vital sign is easy to assess during sleep and is elevated ...
