Obstructive vs Restrictive Respiratory Disease

In this video, Dr Mike explains the difference between obstructive and restrictive respiratory disorders. He shows the anatomical changes that occur and highlights how various lung volumes and capacities are changed. This highlights why pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are important.

This video absolutely amazing you are a fantastic instructor.. I have literally no knowledge of anything pulmonary but after watching this video, I feel so well informed. The use of the bands and drawings made this so simple to understand. Thank you for your ability to explain and articulate to a lay person the process of the lungs.

Thank you so much Dr Mike and. Dr Matt. I had failed my first medical school exam first week of class. And I watched your videos and then my next exams went up to a B. I am so grateful for your educational videos. Please continue to do what you do. You explain everything concisely and with flair and entertainment and the information sticks well and you make learning fun. Thank you so much 😊
