A member asked:
What can be done for a severe restrictive ventilator defect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No one answer: That depends on the cause. Sometimes this is caused by lung disease, for which there is often no treatment. Sometimes caused by obesity, sometimes it's caused by neuromuscular disease.
