- In the event of hypoxemia or lack of oxygen in the blood because the oxygen is difficult to enter or occur hypercapnia or excess carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) as much carbon dioxide can not be excluded that this could lead to hypertropia or widening of the bronchi. Consequently, can cause symptoms of disturbance of consciousness and neurological disorders such as coma, headache.
- Bronchitis symptoms and signs such as voice Ronchi ie breath sound produced when air passes through an airway that is full of fluid or mucus, heard during inspiration and expiration.
