A progressive inversible lung condition that result in diminished lung capacity
Added by Sue C.
Step 1
- Progressive: The condition worsens over time. - Inversible: The condition can be reversed or treated. - Lung condition: A problem or disease related to the lungs. - Diminished lung capacity: The ability of the lungs to function is reduced. Show more…

Which respiratory disorder is characterized by a loss of respiratory membrane, thereby reducing gas exchange and lung compliance
James K.
Individuals with restrictive lung disorders have difficulty inspiring enough air. When the cause is a lung disease, the lung tissue is stiffened. This can result from damage to the lung walls, which produces scarring and decreases lung compliance. An example is pulmonary fibrosis. How do you think lung volume, as seen on a flow-volume loop, would be affected by restrictive lung disorders?

A 50-year-old male presents with difficulty breathing and a dry cough. He says he is able to breathe better when he leans forward. He doesn't smoke, but both of his parents smoked when he was growing up. He is unable to speak in full sentences without stopping to take a breath. He is thin, barrel-chested, and he purses his lips when breathing out. Which of the following pathologies does this patient have?
