OBSTRUCTIVE AND RESTRICTIVE PULMONARY
DISEASES
 Diffuse pulmonary diseases are divided into:
1. Obstructive disease:
characterized by limitation of
airflow owing to partial or
complete obstruction at any
level from trachea to respiratory
bronchioles.
Pulmonary function test:
limitation of maximal
airflow rate during forced
expiration (FEVI).
2. Restrictive disease:
characterized by reduced expansion
of lung parenchyma with decreased
total lung capacity while the
expiratory flow rate is near normal.
Occur in:
1. Chest wall disorder.
2. Acute or chronic, interstitial and
infiltrative diseases,
e.g. ARDS and pneumoconiosis.
CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY
DISEASE (COPD)
EMPHYSEMA
 Is characterized by permanent enlargement of
the airspaces distal to the terminal bronchioles
accompanied by destruction of their walls,
without obvious fibrosis.
 Over inflation.
 Types of emphysema:
1. Centriacinar (20x)
2. Panacinar
3. Distal acinar
4. Irregular
EMPHYSEMA:
• Centriacinar: Smoking
• Panacinar: deficiency of α1 AT
• Paraseptal
• Irregular: scar
Types
• Cough and wheezing. Respiratory acidosis
• Weight loss.
• Pulmonary function tests reveal reduced FEV1.
Clinical
features
• Pneumothorax
• Death from emphysema is related to:
• Pulmonary failure with respiratory acidosis, hypoxia and
coma.
• Right-sided heart failure ( Cor pulmnale)
Complications
Dilated air spaces beyond respiratory
arteriols
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
· Mucosa of the lower respiratory
passages becomes severely inflamed
· Mucus production increases
· Pooled mucus impairs ventilation and
gas exchange
· Risk of lung infection increases
· Pneumonia is common
· Hypoxia and cyanosis occur early
CHRONIC BRONCHITIS:
• 1. Simple chronic bronchitis.
• 2. Chronic mucopurulent bronchitis.
• 3. Chronic asthmatic bronchitis.
• 4. Chronic obstructive bronchitis.
forms:
• Enlargement of the mucus glands, increased number of goblet
cells, loss of ciliated epithelial cells, squamous metaplasia,
dysplastic changes and bronchogenic carcinoma.
• Inflammation, fibrosis and resultant narrowing of bronchioles.
• Coexistent emphysema
Morphology
• Prominent cough and the production of sputum.
• COPD with hypercapnia, hypoxemia and cyanosis.
• Cardiac failure
Clinical
features
Persistent productive cough for at
least 3 consecutive months in at least
2 consecutive years, smoking related

LUNG CANCER
· Accounts for 1/3 of all cancer deaths in
the United States
· Increased incidence associated with
smoking
· Three common types
·Squamous cell carcinoma
·Adenocarcinoma
·Small cell carcinoma
ASTHMA
· Chronic inflamed hypersensitive
bronchiole passages
· Response to irritants with dyspnea,
coughing, and wheezing
ASTHMA
Bronchial asthma
 Chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder
characterized by hyperactive airways leading to
episodic, reversible bronchoconstriction owing to
increased responsiveness of the tracheobronchial tree
to various stimuli.
 It has been divided into two basic types:
1. Extrinsic asthma.
2. Intrinsic asthma.
EXTRINSIC ASTHMA
 Initiated by type 1 hypersensivity
reaction induced by exposure to
extrinsic antigen.
 Subtypes include:
a. atopic (allergic) asthma.
b. occupational asthma.
c. allergic
bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.
 Develop early in life
Intrinsic Asthma
• Initiated by diverse,
non-immune mechanisms,
including ingestion of
aspirin, pulmonary
infections, cold, inhaled
irritant, stress and
exercise.
• No personal or family
history of allergic reaction.
• Develop later in life
CLASSIFICATION OF ASTHMA
ASTHMA: DYSPNEA AND WHEEZING
• 1. Extrinsic asthma: Type 1 Hypersensitivity
reaction, IgE, childhood, family Hx of allergy.
• 2. Intrinsic asthma: associated e bronchial
asthma, aspirin, exercise, cold induced. No Hx
of allergy
Types
• Hypertrophy of bronchial smooth muscle &
hyperplasia of goblet cells e eosinophils
• Mucous plug e Curschmann spirals & Charcot-
Leyden crystals.
Morphology
• Superimposed infection
• Chronic bronchitis
• Pulmonary emphysema
• Status asthmaticus
Complication
PATHOLOGY OF LUNG DISEASES
Very important in clinical medicine
Complication of air pollution
Common symptoms:
 Dyspnea: difficulty with breathing
 Decrease compliance, fibrosis
 Increased airway resistance , ch. bronchitis
 Chest wall disease, obesity
 Fluid accumulation, left sided heart failure
 Cough
 Postnasal discharge, GERD, Br. Asthma, ch. Bronchitis,
pneumonia, bronchiectasis, drug induced
 Hemoptysis
 Ch. Bronchitis, pneumonia, TB, bronchiectasis, aspergilloma
ATELECTASIS (COLLAPSE)
 Incomplete expansion of the lungs or
collapse of previously inflated lung
substance.
 Significant atelectasis reduce
oxygenation and predispose to
infection.
 Atelectasis occurs :
 blocked airway (obstructive) or pressure from
outside the lung (non-obstructive).
 General anesthesia is a common cause of
atelectasis. It changes your regular pattern of
breathing and affects the exchange of lung gases,
which can cause the air sacs (alveoli) to deflate
TYPES OF ATELECTASIS
1. Resorption atelectasis.
2. Compression atelectasis.
3. Contraction atelectasis.
TYPES OF ATELECTASIS
1. Resorption atelectasis
- Result from complete obstruction of an
airway and absorption of entrapped air.
Obstruction can be caused by:
a. Mucous plug ( postoperatively or exudates
within small bronchi seen in bronchial asthma
and chronic bronchitis).
b. Aspiration of foreign body.
c. Neoplasm (Abnormal mass tissue)
d. enlarged lymph node
- The involvement of lung depend on the
level of airway obstruction.
- Lung volume is diminished and the
mediastinum may shift toward the
atelectatic lung.
2. Compression atelectasis
Results whenever the pleural cavity is
partially or completely filled by fluid,
blood, tumor or air, e.g.
- patient with cardiac failure
- patient with neoplastic
effusion
- patient with abnormal
elevation of diaphragm in peritonitis
or subdiaphragmatic abscess.
Peritoneum:
It is the serous membrane that lines
the abdominal cavity & it serves to
support the organs of the abdomen
3. Contraction atelectasis.
 Local or generalized fibrotic
changes in pleura or lung
preventing full expansion of
the lung.
BRONCHIECTASIS
 Chronic necrotizing infection of the bronchi and
bronchioles leading to or associated with
abnormal dilatation of these airways.
 Bronchial dilatation should be permanent.
BRONCHIECTASIS:
• Infection
• Obstruction
• Congenital (Cystic fibrosis, Kartagener’s
Syndrome)
Causes
• Sever persistent cough with sputum
(mucopurulent sputum) sometime with blood.
• Clubbing of fingers.
Clinical
features
• If sever, obstructive pulmonary function develop.
• Lung Abscess
• Rare complications: metastatic brain
abscess and amyloidosis.

bronchi
