Diseases Causing Airway Obstruction
A respiratory diseases, particularly those associated with bronchial obstruction, are of significant importance as they cause chronic airway flow obstruction. As a result, airflow, especially during exhalation, is significantly reduced. A thorough understanding of the mechanisms and symptoms underlying these diseases can aid in prevention and effective treatment. Conditions associated with bronchial obstruction include chronic bronchitis and emphysema. In chronic bronchitis, inflammation and increased mucus production occur in the bronchi, leading to airway narrowing.
