Air trapping affects patients with COPD. It results in an expansion of the chest wall, which places the respiratory muscles at a mechanical disadvantage.1 Air trapping limits the ability of patients to expand tidal volume when required, for example, during activity. This makes the patient feel breathless or dyspneic. Hyperinflation, resulting from air trapping, can be observed on standard X-rays. Note the wide intercostal spaces in this patient with COPD, which are caused by air trapping. ODonnell DE, Webb K. The etiology of dyspnea during exercise in COPD. Pulmonary and Critical Care Upda
