A potential effect of pronounced obstruction is hyperinflation of the lungs. On rare occasions, this can also occur independently of an obstruction.
A characteristic of hyperinflation is the change in lung volumes: The vital capacity decreases in favor of the residual volume. In addition, the FEV1:FVC ratio is normal or decreased, depending on whether or not there’s an additional obstruction.
