This document summarizes obstructive and restrictive lung disorders. Obstructive disorders such as asthma involve narrowing of the airways, resulting in reduced peak airflow. Restrictive disorders involve various pathologies that restrict lung volume, shown by a reduced total lung capacity. Specific obstructive disorders discussed include asthma, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Asthma is characterized by reversible airway obstruction and hyperresponsiveness. Chronic bronchitis and emphysema involve irreversible airway obstruction and destruction of lung tissue. Restrictive disorders discussed include pneumonia, fibrosis, and mechanical limitations from conditions like kyphoscoliosis.
