Study Notes
- There are two types of lung diseases: obstructive lung disease (OLD) and restrictive lung disease (RLD).
- OLD refers to difficulty exhaling air, while RLD refers to difficulty inhaling air.
- Shortness of breath is a common symptom for both types of lung diseases.
- Both OLD and RLD can result in low vital capacity and high residual volume.
- Barrel chest is a classic sign of OLD.
- Spirometry tests can diagnose OLD, with low FEV1 and FEV1/RVC ratio being common indicators.
- Spirometry tests can also diagnose RLD, with abnormal to high FEV1/FVC ratio being a sign.
- Flow-volume loops can help identify the type of lung disease based on the pattern of air flow.
- Other chest deformities include pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum.
- Shortness of breath can also be caused by other factors, such as hyperacidity.
