Тhe article provides an overview of modern methods of assessing the respiratory function in children taking into account their age peculiarities. The emphasis is made on high-precision ultrasonic spirometry, evaluation of static pulmonary volumes and determination of the ventilation inhomogeneity index by means of nitrogen washout with oxygen compared to the traditionally used methods. Authors’ own results of approbation of these test methods are presented and their comparative assessment is provided.
