Airway disease versus alveolar disease

By the end of the lesson, you will understand key observations pertinent to managing ventilated patients with airway disease and/or alveolar disease.

This video was taken from our CME-accredited Mechanical Ventilation Essentials course taught by Josh Cosa, Manager of Education at
Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, California, USA.

I just got diagnosed with small airway disease and copd stage 2 it’s sucks

[StarJoon]

Can a patient have both? If so, what are the unique markers for a patient with both airways and alveolar dysfunction? Is there a name for this type of condition?

Restrictive disease make ventilation problem also because of mismatch gas exhange i mean not hust oxygeneation proble as you said

Your video helped, thank you! But, I don't understand the pursing lips example. Why do you purse your lips on exhalation, and not on inspiration. It is not like your bronchioles dilate during inspiration, and constrict during exhalation. Would it not be breathing in through pursed lips, and breathing out through pursed lips? I understand this may just be an example of what happens in our body, but anatomically it does not translate because, I believe, you'd just need pursed lips the entire time. I could be wrong! Let me know! Either way I'll remember your rules of thumb.
