About
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common respiratory condition that is characterized by inflammation of the large and small peripheral airways , the alveoli and adjacent capillary networks. Severe airflow obstruction that imposes a significant load on the respiratory system is a major manifestation of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. The reduced expiratory airflow also causes air trapping at the end of expiration , producing alveolar pressure that are higher than atmospheric pressure before the next breath. This condition is intrinsic positive end-expiratory pressure .
