Abstract
Obstructive respiratory tract diseases encompass a broad spectrum of chronic and potentially debilitating conditions that affect the respiratory system. This abstract provides an overview of these diseases, focusing on their pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and management. Obstructive respiratory tract diseases include chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, bronchiectasis, and bronchiolitis, among others. They share a common characteristic: the obstruction of airflow within the respiratory tract, leading to symptoms such as coughing, shortness of breath, and decreased lung function. Understanding the underlying mechanisms, recognizing the risk factors, and implementing effective management approaches are crucial steps in mitigating the burden of obstructive respiratory tract diseases on patients and healthcare systems. This abstract provides a foundational insight into the complexities of these diseases and underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration among healthcare professionals to enhance patient care and outcomes.
