302 Exam Flashcards
define chronic bronchitis
“blue bloaters”
inflammation to bronchi, cough, mucus, can have frequent respiratory failure an infections
Tx for chronic bronchitis
O2 therapy, bronchodilators, postural drainage, increased hydration, antibiotics
why is it important to give oxygen therapy in limited amounts?
bc Hyperoxia occurs… tissues&organs are exposed to O2 or higher than normal partial pressure an cause tissue damage
roles of an PT in acute care
provide gait aids to improve mobility, education pt on condition, teach exercises to improve strength, understand discharge location
expectations of TA’s in acute care
teaching crutch walking, exercise programs, pt education an teaching, dressing, ADL’s, transfers
role of OT in acute care
ADL’s (dressing, bathing), finances, cooking, toileting
cardiology
60+…a condition including nstemi, pacemaker, poor control of arrythmias, CHF…goal to improve patient function an safety with discharge
OT expectations
energy conservation, discharge location,
PT expectations
safe mobilizing, goals for discharge, tell nurses safe transfers
TA expectations
safe mobilizing, chest PT, PROVING FEEDBACK TO PT EVERY TIME AFTER SESSION, toilet transfers, bed mobility
Girl your gonna kill this test…
:)
important to consider….
BP, drop in O2, pace makers an lines when doing ROM, post op pain management, weight bearings,
what is postural drainage?
percussions in different positions, client may be hugging a pillow or leaned over a bed
how does postural drainage apply to chronic bronchitis?
clear muscus an help with inflammationa
what is chest physiotherapy?
postural drainage, cupping, breath, staking, coughing
how does chest physiotherapy apply to chronic bronchitis?
clear mucous, loosen secretion
roles of an PT in acute care
provide gait aids to improve mobility, education pt on condition, teach exercises to improve strength, understand discharge location
ICU-intensive care unit
resp failure, post surgery acute, maintain strength an ROM, prevent effects of bed rest
ICU roles of a TA
chest PT, mobilization, ROM, gather seating position aids….be aware of Iv, o2 levels, heart monitor
Sign of respiratory issues
wheezing, Short ness of breath color change, grey signosis, short of breath, tiring out
Early mobilization to prevent blood clots
:)
Surfactant=coats alveoli
lipid protein, prevent collapsing
Fibrous
scarring chronic of alveoli forever effect them
ventilation
exchange between air an lungs
