2.4 Pneumonia Flashcards
Restrictive Lung Disease
Lungs restricted from fully expanding w/ air
*Problems INSPIRING!
Reasons for RLD?
Primary lung disease w/ stiff non-compliant lung parenchyma, IPF
Pleural abnormalities, effusions
Thoracic abnormalities that restrict chest wall mobility, kyphoscoliosis
Morbid obesity, pregnancy
PNA
inflammatory response of bronchioles and alveolar spaces to an infective agent
*bacterial, fungal, or viral
Chart review: Indirect
Amount of supplemental oxygen support required?
Trending up or down?
Lab values: WBC specifically.
Vital signs: temp, HR, RR, SpO2
Subjective: Direct
Cough? color/consistency
SOB? activities/supplemental O2
Chest pain? SINS, aggs/eases, hx
Hypothesis of Key Impairments
Respiratory System:
- decreased aerobic capacity due to hypoventilation and reduced gas exchange at alveolar level
- difficulty w/ airway clearance
MS System:
- decreased LE strength/power due to reconditioning
- impaired dynamic balanced due to reconditioning and loss of strength
LOOK
Visual of breathing Laborious? Signs of chronic hypoxemia - cyanosis - digital clubbing - hypertrophied accessory musculature
Clues in room
- tissues/suction tubing
- sputum
- VC w/ IS
- pre/post
What is normal VC?
3.0-5.0L
Volume vs. Capacity
Capacity - 2 or more volumes added (ERV+IRV)
PFT’s involve
gender
height
age
mechanical function of the lungs
*compared to predicted value expected
RLD: reduced lung volumes
VC
IC
TLC
decreased or normal RV
PNA pt can become hypoxic. T/F
True
LISTEN
Pulmonary auscultation
- inspiratory crackles & bronchial sounds
Dynamic Airway Assessment: Cough & Huff
- excessive coughing
- huffing
Bronchophony
- increased sounds in consolidated area
Mediate percussion
- dull in areas of consolidated
FEEL
Chest Wall Mobility
- decreased pump handle
Tactile Fremitus
- increased remits in consolidated area
Hypothesis: decreased aerobic capacity
What treatment?
- functional capacity in comity-dwelling adult
- measures response to therapeutic interventions
*Assess baseline, stop if the pt desat to 85%!! (sharp decline)
When doing a test to check when a patient desats at what point do you stop even if they are asymptomatic?
85%!!
- Have face mask nearby!
- Do this only when closer to d/c or feels better!
- If everything checks out, balance/strength/power.
