Bronchial resistance

Bronchial resistance is the resistance that occurs when air flows through the bronchi and trachea. It is caused by many factors, such as the size and shape of the airways, the presence of mucus and other obstructions on their surface, and air movement.

Bronchial resistance is an important factor for normal breathing. When air passes through the bronchi, it encounters resistance, which can be caused by various reasons. This can result in reduced air flow speed and reduced air volume.

To measure bronchial resistance, a special device is used - a spirometer. It allows you to determine how well the lungs and bronchi cope with breathing. In diseases of the lungs and bronchi, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and others, bronchial resistance may be increased.

Treatment of diseases of the bronchi and lungs, such as bronchitis, pneumonia and emphysema, may include the use of medications that reduce bronchial resistance. Non-drug treatments such as breathing exercises, massage and physical therapy may also be used.

Thus, bronchial resistance plays an important role in normal breathing and can be reduced in the treatment of diseases of the lungs and bronchi.

Bronchial air resistance is a phenomenon in which the flow of air in the respiratory system encounters resistance and encounters certain obstacles. The components of this resistance include both anatomical factors and functional reasons associated with the physiological characteristics of the patient’s body. The article discusses the concept of bronchial resistance, methods for determining it, as well as methods for correcting this condition. In addition, the basic principles of pulmonary therapy for patients with respiratory and bronchial pathologies are presented in order to reduce the level of resistance to this process.
