Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is a combination of emphysema and chronic bronchitis, which both involve airway obstruction. RDS (respiratory distress syndrome) is associated with premature infants and IPPB (intermittent positive pressure breathing) is a type of breathing treatment, neither of which are specific to airway obstruction associated with emphysema and chronic bronchitis. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is a life-saving technique used in emergency situations and SOB (shortness of breath) is a symptom of airway obstruction, but not a specific condition.
