- PFT hallmark of obstructive lung disease
- Decreased FEV1/FVC ratio
- Two diseases that together make up COPD
- Chronic bronchitis and emphysema
- Clinical definition of chronic bronchitis
- Productive cough for at least 3 months in each of 2 consecutive years
- In chronic bronchitis, does the Reid index increase or decrease?
- Increases

- Cigarette smoking
- Panacinar emphysema is classically associated with which deficiency
- Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
