Thorough history taking is essential in evaluation of chronic bronchitis. Patients often reveal key symptoms that help define the disorder and provide information about contributing factors, such as cigarette smoking, that can be eliminated. Useful baseline data can be collected through pulmonary function studies, electrocardiogram, chest radiographs, complete blood cell count, and measurement of electrolyte levels.
