Abnormal FLow Loops: Restrictive
what does it look like?
like a baby upside down icecream cone
Abnormal FLow Loops: Restrictive
why is it smaller?
b/c w/ restictve dz, the lungs are restricted thus you have smaller volumes
Abnormal FLow Loops: Restrictive
look at the restrictive loop

Abnormal FLow Loops: Obstructive
what does the loop look like?
one side of the upside down icecream cone is curved.
looks like a baby carige w/ no wheels
Abnormal FLow Loops: Obstructive
are lung volumes larger or smaller w/ obstructive dz?
larger
Abnormal FLow Loops: Obstructive
look at the flow loop
