What type of chronic obstruction? Is it intrathoracic or extrathoracic? You also have chronic obstruction with obstructive sleep apnea. I would get a further clarification on your topic, it is a little too vague for a paper (you will be writing all year describing all the different types of chronic airway obstruction).

Thanks for the thought, but I did google it, and I looked at about 200 different sites, they were all worthless and never said anything specific, but thanks anyway....

It didn't say on the patient's chart. It just said Chronic Airway Obstruction. Is there a more common one?

I just put everything that I could find in the paper, which wasn't a lot, but thanks for the help anyway.
