Bronchoconstriction

 Bronchoconstriction is that the constriction of the airways within the lungs thanks to the tightening of surrounding smooth muscle, with consequent coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Asthma is characterized pathologically by structural changes within the airway, termed airway remodeling. These changes are related to worse long-term clinical outcomes and are attributed to eosinophilic inflammation. We evaluated the influence of repeated experimentally induced bronchoconstriction on airway structural changes in patients with asthma.This makes it harder for oxygen to pass into the bloodstream. The term ILD is employed to differentiate these diseases from obstructive airways diseases.Interstitial lung disease could also be caused by long-term exposure to hazardous materials, like asbestos or coal dust, or it are often caused by an auto-immune disease like rheumatoid arthritis. Once lung scarring occurs, it’s generally irreversible. For this reason and because anesthesiologists' expertise in placement and monitoring of double-lumen tubes (DLTs) has increased, OLV is now used for almost all thoracic operations in which the lung is operated on or during which the collapse of the lung improves access to the operation field. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia can be mild, moderate or severe. Many infants fully recover from this disorder. Others may have breathing difficulties during the first two years of life and even into the teen and adult years.
