An observational and comparative study was conducted at a tertiary care teaching hospital, Telangana state, India. A total of 100 patients from the In-patient department of Pulmonology in Gleneagles Global Hospital, who were diagnosed with Asthma, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchiectasis, and those who have fulfilled the exclusion and inclusion criteria were selected for the study. Data was collected from the patient case records and information gathered with the help of patients and their attenders during ward rounds with the support of a physician which were analysed by SPSS software. Moreover, daily follow-ups were conducted to assemble data on amendment in therapy, everyday prognosis information and approaches in treatment leading to betterment in case study. Out of 100 patients considered in the study, 61(61%)  were male and 39(39%) were female,  to the study, patients having age between 60-70 has shown the highest diseased state of obstructive lung disease, past medical history of Asthma leading to the main cause of developing obstructive lung diseases, highest symptom noticed was productive cough with sputum, nebulization therapy showing highest efficacy in treating patients with obstructive lung disease and the major diagnostic criteria used in diagnosing obstructive lung disease is chest X-ray and HRCT. Emphysema is more evident than chronic bronchitis in COPD, Airway hyperresponsiveness is more evident than bronchoconstriction in Asthma.

Keywords
