Abstract
Airways can obstruct in many different ways. Basically, airflow obstruction can be the result of increased smooth muscle force generation, airway wall thickening, loss of lung elastic recoil, increased compliance of the airway wall, and secretions in the airway. In severe asthma most of these factors can be responsible for the airflow obstruction. Knowledge of these factors is required to optimize treatment for these patients.KeywordsSmooth MuscleRespir CritAirflow ObstructionAirway WallCartilage VolumeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
