This videos looks at some of the major differences between restrictive and obstructive lung diseases.

Is mild restrictive lung disease the same as asthma

[colinwatt]

There are a few very important concepts which are misleading in this video. Restrictive lung diseases are those which ‘restrict’ the lung from expanding, yes — but they do not all involve an decreased lung compliance. Pulmonary edema, ARDS, pneumonia, pleuritis, anterior chest burns, even obesity all restrict lung expansion without involving any change to the lung tissue. Similarly, obstructive lung pathology involves the ‘obstruction’ of gas movement throughout the lung itself, yes — but they do not all involve increased lung compliance. For example, asthma is a reactive airway disease that is characterized by constriction of bronchioles causing air-trapping in the lungs. The lung tissue itself is unchanged, thus the compliance is also unchanged. Moreover, RV is increased for both asthma and emphysema but the underlying mechanisms are very different. As mentioned, asthma involves air trapped in the alveoli which increases the RV (amount of air at end of expiration). This is why you may need to manually decompress the chest of a crashing asthmatic. Emphysema does not involve air trapping but the RV is increased because increased lung compliance allows the chest wall to expand (thus giving the ‘barrel-chest’ appearance) thus expanding the lungs which increases total lung capacity.

To say restrictive lung pathologies involve decreased lung compliance or obstructive lung pathologies an increased lung compliance is simply wrong. This video does highlight two examples of Restrictive and Obstructive pathologies but unintentionally oversimplifies and misleads their explanation.

Thank you so much for this video - I've been struggling to understand these topics properly for ages! Please can you be my teacher!

[burhanco]

Possibly one of the best videos out there on this topic. Very informative and quite articulate and organized. Thank you.
