It occurs when there is a distension in the alveolar walls, causing a reduction in the number of alveoli and a loss of oxygen exchange capacity.
As a result, the alveoli lose their elasticity, which causes a narrowing of the airway, increasing the residual volume, i.e., there is a volume of air that remains in the lung despite maximum forced expiration.
Breathing is difficult and the most common symptom is dyspnea.
Respiratory physiotherapy helps to achieve a little more elasticity, ventilatory capacity and improve gas exchange, decreasing dyspnea.
But we must say, that respiratory physiotherapy will not cure the disease because it is a chronic disease, we can only improve the patient’s quality of life.
