Bronchitis is when airways become inflamed and narrows. Pneamothoray is air in the chest cavity that equalizes pressure inside and out causing lungs to collapse. Apnea is breathing slowly or not at all. Pulmonary edema is fluid between alveolars and capillary builds up. Increases distance over which causes exchange. Smoke inhalation is smoke particles coat the alveolars and prevent gas exchange. Carbon monoxide poison is when carbon binds to hemoglobin more tightly than either oxygen or CD.(CO2)
