➡️ What is CBABE?
CBABE serves as a mnemonic designed to make it easier to memorize the primary types of obstructive lung diseases.

Each letter in CBABE stands for a distinct disorder, as outlined below:

C – Cystic Fibrosis
B – Bronchiectasis
A – Asthma
B – Bronchitis (Chronic)
E – Emphysema

By remembering CBABE, you have a handy tool to quickly identify and categorize the main diseases that fall under the obstructive lung disease umbrella. Obstructive lung diseases are a group of respiratory disorders characterized by airway obstruction, limiting the outflow of air from the lungs. Each of these diseases has unique causes, symptoms, and treatments, but they all involve the obstruction of airflow, leading to breathing difficulties.

➡️ COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive respiratory disease that causes airflow blockage and breathing-related problems. It’s predominantly caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. COPD encompasses both emphysema (damage to the air sacs in the lungs) and chronic bronchitis (inflamed bronchial tubes with excessive mucus production).

➡️ Asthma
Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition where the airways become inflamed and narrowed, often in response to specific triggers like allergens, cold air, or exercise. This narrowing can cause periods of wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. While it can be managed with medications and lifestyle adjustments, severe episodes, known as asthma attacks, can be life-threatening.

➡️ Cystic Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes thick, sticky mucus to build up in the lungs, digestive tract, and other parts of the body. This mucus clogs the airways, leading to respiratory and digestive complications. It’s associated with frequent lung infections, reduced lung function, and, over time, respiratory failure. Regular treatments are required to clear mucus and prevent complications.

➡️ Bronchiectasis
Bronchiectasis is a chronic condition where the bronchial tubes in the lungs become irreversibly dilated and damaged due to chronic inflammation or infection. This damage prevents the airways from effectively clearing mucus, leading to persistent cough, recurrent lung infections, and breathing difficulties. Watch the video for the rest!
