what is the difference between obstructive and restrictive respiratory diseases?

Obstructive lung diseases include conditions that make it hard to exhale all the air in the lungs. People with restrictive lung disease have difficulty fully expanding their lungs with air. Obstructive and restrictive lung disease share the same main symptom: shortness of breath with exertion.

Clinical comorbidities are no more likely in patients with higher apnea indices than hypopnea indices. While apneas are considered a more severe form of obstruction, this distinction does not have any known clinically predictive value.

Notice in the obstructed lung (below left), how FVC is smaller than normal, but also that FEV1 is much smaller than normal. This is because it is very difficult for a person with an obstructive disease (eg. asthma) to exhale quickly due to the increase in airway resistance.

Labored breathing; difficulty in drawing air into your lungs or breathing out. A cough lasting more than a month, regardless of your age. Chronic mucus or sputum production lasting a month or more. Wheezing or noisy breathing due to blockage of airways of the lungs.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an umbrella term given to a group of chronic lung diseases that make it harder to breathe air out of the lungs. These diseases include emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and sometimes asthma.

O—Obstruction (of the Airway) FEV1 is a strong predictor of survival in people with COPD. Those with severe airway obstruction on long-term oxygen therapy have low survival rates (roughly 70% to year one, 50% to year two, and 43% to year three).

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and Emphysema. COPD stands for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Emphysema is a form of COPD.

Lung disease is any problem in the lungs that prevents the lungs from working properly. There are three main types of lung disease: Airway diseases -- These diseases affect the tubes (airways) that carry oxygen and other gases into and out of the lungs. They usually cause a narrowing or blockage of the airways.

Apnea, obstructive sleep: Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. It owes its name to a Greek word, apnea, meaning "want of breath." There are two types of sleep apnea: central and obstructive.

As adjectives the difference between restrictive and prescriptive. is that restrictive is confining, limiting, containing with in defined bounds while prescriptive is of or pertaining to prescribing or enjoining, especially an action or behavior based on a norm or standard.

In IPF, your lungs become scarred, stiff, and thick, and the progressive damage isn't reversible. In COPD, the airways and air sacs in your lungs become blocked, but you can control the symptoms even in advanced cases of the disease. The two most common forms of COPD are emphysema and chronic bronchitis.

Intrinsic Restrictive Lung Diseases Intrinsic restrictive disorders are those that occur due to restriction in the lungs (often a "stiffening") and include: Pneumonia. Pneumoconioses. Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)

Partial airway obstructions allow some air to pass. You can still breathe with a partial airway obstruction, but it's difficult. Complete airway obstructions don't allow any air to pass.

Chronic bronchitis is a type of COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). COPD is a group of lung diseases that make it hard to breathe and get worse over time. The other main type of COPD is emphysema.

Not everyone who snores has apnea, but it is a key symptom. The difference is that, with obstructive sleep apnea, the snoring is accompanied by pauses where you literally stop breathing because your airway collapses or is blocked.

What is the difference between acute and chronic bronchitis? Acute bronchitis is very common, while chronic bronchitis is a more serious condition. Chronic bronchitis is a constant irritation or inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes and happens more frequently in smokers.

Understanding COPD Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are both long-term lung conditions. They're part of a disorder known as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Because many people have both emphysema and chronic bronchitis, the umbrella term COPD is often used during diagnosis.
