Oscillometry

Oscillometry is a non-invasive method for assessing respiratory mechanics, particularly airway resistance and reactance.
It involves the application of small-amplitude pressure or flow oscillations at the mouth during tidal breathing, allowing for the measurement of respiratory impedance.
This technique provides valuable insights into airway function and can be used to diagnose and monitor respiratory conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and interstitial lung diseases.
Oscillometry is an efficient, relatively effortless alternative to traditional lung function tests, making it a useful tool for patients who may have difficulty performing spirometry or other breathing maneuvers.
Reserchers can leverage this techology to optimize oscillometry protocols and deliver reliable, high-quallity results through the use of AI-driven analysis.

The population retained for the present analysis is a subgroup of the ‘Reference Values for Arterial Stiffness' Collaboration database’, described previously.19 (link) Briefly, this database contains patients and subjects having had measurements of arterial stiffness (PWV or local stiffness measures obtained from ultrasound echotracking) and/or measurements of central pressure, together with a full medical history on record. These were provided by 13 centres distributed across eight European countries (see Appendix for the list of contributing centres). Inclusion criteria also included the availability of a full set of documentation regarding the protocol and measurement techniques used for the assessment of stiffness parameters.
Subjects were excluded from the present analysis if PWV measurement was unavailable, if they had an identified genetic cause of hypertension or secondary hypertension, or had overt CVD. Diabetic patients (either treated or untreated) and patients treated for hypertension or dyslipidaemia were also excluded.
Subject data included vital parameters, BPs, and the recording of any relevant CV risk factor, CVD, or treatment at the time of measurement. Ethnicity was not reported in all data sets; however, subjects other than Caucasians were a small minority. Subjects were further categorized (Figure 1) according to the presence of additional CV risk factors (gender, dyslipidaemia, or current smoking). Dyslipidaemia was defined as total cholesterol >5.0 mmol/L, HDL cholesterol <1.0 mmol/L for men and <1.2 mmol/L for women, LDL cholesterol >3.0 mmol/L, or triglycerides >1.7 mmol/L. Blood pressure was measured according to the procedures of each participating centre. The values of BP are those obtained during the measurement of PWV. Methods for BP measurement may vary with time and within centres. Automatic oscillometric devices were used in more than 80% of subjects. Mean BP (MBP) was calculated from systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) as MBP = DBP + 0.4(SBP − DBP). Threshold values for CV risk factors were chosen according to the 2007 ESC/ESH hypertension guidelines.3 (link)

Several BP measurement methods are now available. The main methods include catheterization, auscultation, oscillometry, volume clamping, and tonometry.
Catheterization is the gold standard method [6 (link)]. This method measures instantaneous BP by placing a strain gauge in fluid contact with blood at any arterial site (e.g., radial artery, aorta). However, the method is invasive.
Auscultation, oscillometry, and volume clamping are noninvasive methods. These methods employ an inflatable cuff.
Auscultation is the standard clinical method [7 (link)]. This method measures systolic and diastolic BP by occluding an artery with a cuff and detecting the Korotkoff sounds using a stethoscope and manometer during cuff deflation. The first sound indicates the initiation of turbulent flow and thus systolic BP, while the fifth sound is silent and indicates the renewal of laminar flow and thus diastolic BP.
Oscillometry is the most popular non-invasive, automatic method [8 (link), 9 (link)]. This method measures mean, diastolic, and systolic BP by also using a cuff but with a pressure sensor inside it. The measured cuff pressure not only rises and falls with cuff inflation and deflation but also shows tiny oscillations indicating the pulsatile blood volume in the artery. The amplitude of these oscillations varies with the applied cuff pressure, as the arterial elasticity is nonlinear. The BP values are estimated from the varying oscillation amplitudes using the empirical fixed-ratios principle. When evaluated against auscultation using an Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) protocol, some oscillometric devices achieve BP errors within the AAMI limits of 5 mmHg bias and 8 mmHg precision [10 ]. However, oscillometry is unreliable in subjects with certain conditions such as atrial fibrillation, stiff arteries, and pre-eclampsia [11 ].
Volume clamping is a non-invasive, automatic method used in research [12 (link), 13 ]. This method measures instantaneous (finger) BP by using a cuff and a photoplethysmography (PPG) sensor to measure the blood volume (see Section V.A). The blood volume at zero transmural pressure is estimated via oscillometry. The cuff pressure is then continually varied to maintain this blood volume throughout the cardiac cycle via a fast servo-control system. The applied cuff pressure may thus equal BP. Volume clamping devices also achieve BP errors within AAMI limits when evaluated against auscultation and near AAMI limits when evaluated against radial artery catheterization [14 (link)].
However, cuff use has several drawbacks. In particular, cuffs are cumbersome and time consuming to use, disruptive during ambulatory monitoring, especially while sleeping, and do not readily extend to low resources settings.
Tonometry is another non-invasive method used in research that, in theory, does not require an inflatable cuff [15 , 16 ]. This method measures instantaneous BP by pressing a manometer-tipped probe on an artery. The probe must flatten or applanate the artery so that its wall tension is perpendicular to the probe. However, manual and automatic applanation have proven difficult. As a result, in practice, the measured waveform has been routinely calibrated with cuff BP whenever a BP change is anticipated [17 (link)].
In sum, the existing BP measurement methods are invasive, manual, or require a cuff. So, none are suitable for ubiquitous (i.e., ultra-convenient, unobtrusive, and low cost) monitoring.

After a 30-minute rest period in a quiet room, mental stress testing was performed by trained staff. Patients were required to listen to a scripted message that provided instructions for the mental stress task. They were asked to imagine a stressful situation, using a scenario in which a close relative had been mistreated in a nursing home. They then were asked to prepare a statement for 2 minutes and then present it over a 3-minute period in front of a video camera and an audience wearing white coats. Patients were told that their speech would be evaluated for content and duration. Blood pressure and heart rate were recorded at 5-minute intervals during the resting phase and at 1-minute intervals during the mental stress period using an automatic oscillometric device. At 60 seconds into the mental stress task, a regular dose of 99mTc-sestamibi (30–40 mCi based on weight) was injected intravenously and images were acquired 40 minutes to 1 hour later.

The ARCSolver method aims to be a novel method for the determination of the aSBP and AIx based on oscillometric blood pressure measurement with a common cuff. The method16 has been developed by the Austrian Institute of Technology, Vienna, Austria. The method uses the pulse waves assessed at A. brachialis. The recordings are carried out at diastolic pressure level for approximately 10 s using a conventional blood pressure cuff for adults available in two sizes (24–34 and 32–42 cm) and a high fidelity pressure sensor (MPX5050, Freescale Inc., Tempe, AZ, USA). The sensor is connected to a 12 bit A/D converter by means of an active analogue band bass filter (0<>25 Hz). After digitalization, the signal processing is performed using a three level algorithm. In a first step, the single pressure waves are verified for their plausibility by testing the position of minima and the corresponding wavelengths. During the second stage, all single pressure waves are compared with each other to recognize artifacts. Thereafter, an aortic pulse wave is generated by the means of a generalized transfer function. The idea behind a transfer function is the modification of a certain frequency range within the acquired pulse signal to get the aortic pressure wave. Modulus and phase characteristics of the ARCSolver transfer function are illustrated in Figure 1a. Compared with data published by Karamanoglu et al.17 (link) similar parameters have been obtained.18 (link) The first positive zero crossing of the fourth-order time derivative of the generated aortic pulse wave represents the desired inflection point.19 (link) Finally, the coherence of the measured parameters is verified. Therefore, the inflection point of each single pulse wave is compared with the mean inflection point. The determination of aSBP and AIx is carried out in the same way as in SphygmoCor (see Figure 1b).

Four-limb blood pressure and ABI measurement was performed by trained technicians using a non-invasive vascular profiling system (Omron VP-1000 vascular profiling system, Japan) [3 (link)]. This system ensured accurate and reliable ABI measurement using advanced oscillometric technology. Simultaneous blood pressure measurement at all four limbs was included, using a dual chamber cuff system and a proprietary algorithm. Measurement was performed after a 10-min rest in the supine position with the upper body as flat as possible. The device simultaneously and automatically measured the blood pressures twice, and then we calculated the means to get final blood pressure values. Bilateral ankle and brachial artery pressures, and bilateral ABI were supplied after measurement. ACC/AHA guidelines recommend ABI ≤ 0.90 as the criterion for the diagnosis of lower extremity PAD [8 (link)]. Meanwhile, IABPD ≥ 15 mmHg was considered as the potential abnormalities of upper extremity arteries according to literatures in this study [9 (link), 10 (link)].

Biometric assessments were performed at baseline, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks. Data from participants included self-reported measures (sociodemographic and self-reported health history), survey data collected via REDCap, including the CMS Accountable Health Communities Health-Related Social Needs Screening Tool either onsite at the Recreation and Parks locations or at participant homes [30 (link)]. Biometric measurements, including blood pressure (mmHg), fasting cholesterol (mg/dl), fasting glucose (mg/dl), weight (lbs), and BMI were collected onsite at the Recreation and Parks locations and recorded in REDCap at each time point. The sociodemographic data included age, education, race, ethnicity, employment status, insurance status, and annual income. The self-reported health history included hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and smoking status (I have never smoked, I currently smoke, I quit smoking > 1 year ago or I quit smoking ≤ 1 year ago), as well as medications for the aforementioned chronic conditions.
The survey data included the Diet History Questionnaire (DHQ) III [40 ]. The DHQ-III nutrient and food group database is based on a compilation of national 24-hour dietary recall data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES). Prior research has shown the questionnaire is valid and reliable [41 (link)–43 (link)]. In the current evaluation, we calculated physical activity minutes per week using the validated moderate physical activity 2-question physical activity questionnaire within the CMS screening tool [44 (link)].
Biometric screenings were performed by trained healthcare staff, including nurses and physicians. Blood pressure was checked via an automated oscillometric sphygmomanometer (Omron 5 series) with two measurements performed after the participants were seated for 5 minutes and averaged. Weight was measured using a zeroed and calibrated Omron Body Composition Monitor and Scale (Model: HBF-514C). Height was measured via a tape measurer. BMI was calculated by multiplying weight (lbs) by 703 and then dividing by height squared (inch2). Blood total cholesterol and glucose were measured in the fasting state using the Cardio Check Silver® (Polymer Technology, Inc., Heath, OH, USA) device. All participants received individual results at baseline, 12, and 24 weeks.

Office brachial BP measurement was performed using a mercury sphygmomanometer and a standard‐sized cuff (13 cm × 50 cm), after the person had been seated for at least 5 min.8 Brachial systolic and diastolic BP values represented the average of at least two consecutive measurements, separated by at least 5 min.
Office central BP measurement was performed using the carotid tonometry.9 Right carotid artery pressure waveforms were registered noninvasively by applanation tonometry using a high‐fidelity SPC‐301 micromanometer (Millar Instrument, Inc., Houston, Texas, USA).10, 11 Five to ten consecutive carotid pressure waveforms were ensemble averaged to one waveform that was then calibrated to brachial mean and diastolic BPs.11 The inter‐ and intra‐observer variabilities of the estimation of central systolic BP by carotid tonometry were .6% and .9%, respectively.8Ambulatory daytime brachial BP readings were calculated from multiple measurements of the oscillometric ABPM recorders (Model 90207; SpaceLabs Inc., Redmond, Washington, USA).7 Recorders were programmed to measure brachial BP at 20‐min intervals during the daytime (from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.) and at 60‐min intervals during the nighttime (from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.).8 The 24‐h BP readings were not edited manually, and only persons whose daytime ABPM records contained ≥ 70% of the total possible readings were included in the present analysis.
For the present study, office brachial hypertension was defined in retrospect as office brachial systolic BP ≥130 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 80 mmHg.1 Office central hypertension was defined as office central systolic BP ≥130 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 80 mmHg. Ambulatory daytime brachial hypertension was defined as average brachial systolic BP ≥ 130 mmHg or average diastolic BP ≥ 80 mmHg during daytime.

BaPWV and cfPWV were measured by trained technicians using automated measuring equipment and following standardized protocols. BaPWV was measured using an automatic waveform analyzer (BP‐203RPE III, Colin‐Omron, Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) based on a standard protocol. The subjects were in the supine position, and 4 cuffs were wrapped around the bilateral brachia and ankles and then connected to a plethysmographic sensor and oscillometric pressure sensor. The pulse waveform was recorded after resting for at least 5 min. BaPWV was measured on both the left and right sides, and the highest measured value was used for analysis.
The cfPWV was measured using an automated system (Pulse Pen, DiaTecne, Milan, Italy) with the patient in the supine position for 10 min. The right carotid and femoral waveforms were acquired simultaneously with two pressure‐sensitive transducers, and the transit time of the pulse was calculated using the system software. The distance between the two arterial sites was measured on the body using a tape measure, and the PWV values were calculated as distance divided by time (m/s).

Blood pressure measurements will be taken using a validated oscillometer Omron Healthcare Oscillometer [64 ]. The participants will remain at rest for five minutes before the assessment and will be lying in a supine position with the legs and arms completed. They will place their left or right arm, depending on the affected breast, straight, so that the cuff is at the level of the heart, 2 cm from the elbow. In addition, any clothing that may alter the results will be removed. Once in this position, the air tube of the cuff will be placed on the front of the arm aligned with the middle finger and with the blue date on the cuff. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure data will be taken; and, subsequently, the mean arterial pressure will be calculated by the following formula [(systolic blood pressure + (2 × diastolic blood pressure))/3] [65 ].
The resting heart rate will be measured for 5 min. The participants will lie relaxed in the supine position on a stretcher isolated from the floor. This data will be essential for the correct prescription of the intensity.
