==Overview==
==[[Airway obstruction overview|Overview]]==
'''Airway obstruction''' is a [[Respiration (physiology)|respiratory]] problem caused by increased resistance in the [[bronchiole]]s (usually from a decreased radius of the bronchioles) that reduces the amount of air inhaled in each breath and the [[Breathing gas|oxygen]] that reaches the [[Pulmonary artery|pulmonary arteries]]. It is different from airway restriction (which prevents air from diffusing into the pulmonary arteries because of some kind of blockage in the lungs).

Obstruction can be measured using [[spirometry]]. A decreased FEV1/VC ratio (versus the normal of about 80%) is indicative of an airway obstruction, as the normal amount of air can no longer be exhaled in the first second of expiration. An airway restriction would not produce a reduced FEV1/VC ratio, would produce a reduced [[vital capacity]].
