There are numerous problems regarding lung function assessment in infants and preschool children despite the great interest to this field worldwide. Therefore, investigations of the interrupter technique in infants and preschool children are of great importance. This article contains results of measurement of airway resistance in children with asthma, atopic dermatitis, acute bronchitis and croup and in healthy children using the interrupter technique. Results of mathematic modeling have also been discussed in the article.
