- - - - Inflamed passageways
        
        Increase in resistance (fluid & inflammation) =decrease in gas exchange
        
        Chronic Bronchitis
      - Viral Pneumonia
        
        Hypoxia
      - wet cough
- - - - pick up more oxygen
      - chest tightness
        
        coughing, wheezing
        
        Aggravated Asthma
        
        Faster RR
        
        ventilation increases as the brain attempts to restore gas exchange
    - - Pulmonary Edema
        
        decrease gas exchange

- - - - Diffusion of gas in high elevation will be slower due to decreased pressure
        
        Gas diffuses across membranes by diffusion High --> Low concentrations
        
        If alveoli are inflamed or fluid filled, gasses will not pass through the membrane as well
        
        shortness of breath, wheezing, wet cough
