AB Airway  disorders  have  diverse  causes  but  share  certain  common  pathophysiologic  and  clinical  features.  Airflow  limitation  is  characteristic  and  frequently  causes  dyspnea  and  cough.  Other  symptoms  are  typically  disease  specific.  Disorders  of  the  airways  can  be  classified  as  those  that  involve  the  upper  airways—loosely  defined  as  those  above  and  including  the  vocal  folds—and  those  that  involve  the  lower  airways.
