Obstructive lung diseases are a group of chronic respiratory disorders characterized by airflow limitation due to partial or complete obstruction of the airways. Some common examples include asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), bronchiectasis, and cystic fibrosis. There are several classes...
