Core Tip	Respiratory diseases, such as asthma, are especially common in children. Although their diagnosis and management are facilitated by using spirometry in older children, the use of the latter remains limited in younger children because of their inability to perform forced expiratory manoeuvre. Therefore, the use of new methods which require minimal effort and cooperation from children, such as the forced oscillation technique (FOT) is a welcome and promising addition to identify children with underlying airway function abnormalities. In this article, we review the available literature on the use of FOT in childhood asthma.
