TREATMENT
Our current rudimentary knowledge of the etiology of the various obstructive lung diseases prevents specific therapy aimed at basic pathophysiological mechanisms. Thus, the treatment of all forms of obstructive lung disease is symptomatic and directed toward the reduction of abnormal airway tone and specific complications such as infection, excessive bronchial secretions, hypoxemia, and cor pulmonale.
