5B: OLD Flashcards
What is the first step in treating COPD?
Quit smoking
When is a person considered to be a non-smoker?
After 6 months
What types of breathing is beneficial for COPD treatment?
Pursed lip breathing
Is inspiratory muscle training beneficial for COPD treatment?
For some patients, but it can be harmful for other patients
Why are UEs important when treating a patient with COPD?
They stabilize with their UE to allow them to use their accessory muscles more for respiration
Will energy conservation techniques be beneficial for COPD?
Yes
What should you work to maintain or improve when treating COPD?
Functional endurance
What type of exercise is indicated for COPD?
Aerobic will improve endurance and physical capacity the most. Resistance exercise will decrease muscle fatigue
What medication can help to treat COPD?
Corticosteroids
What vitals are most important during COPD treatment?
O2 and dyspnea, maybe HR due to compensations
What is the intensity of exercise prescription for COPD?
3x/week at 70-80% HR max of 2-3 on Modified Borg Dyspnea
What is the duration of exercise prescription for COPD?
30-45 minutes, can be intervals if HR and RR stay up during rest
Is it beneficial for a pt to take a bronchodilator prior to exercise?
Yes - can open airways to allow for better expiration and ability to perform exercise
What is the CAT?
COPD assessment tool
What is the CSES?
COPD Self-Efficacy
What are three intervention goals for Bronchitis?
- Coughing techniques
- Energy conservation
- Maintain or improve endurance
What are the two interventions for CF?
Bronchial hygiene and encouraging activity
What are the most common techniques for bronchial hygiene?
Manual percussion, high frequency chest wall oscillations, PEP, coughing
Why is activity beneficial for people with CF?
Helps to break up secretions
What are positive expiratory pressure devices?
Use vibrations during expiration to help break up secretions
What is HFCWO?
High frequency chest wall oscillation - mechanical
What does the CFQOL measure?
Physical function, pt’s relationships and feelings
What are the four treatments for Asthma?
- Avoid triggers
- Maintain or improve functional endurance
- Meds
- Breathing techniques during
What should someone with exercise induced asthma do before exercise?
Prophylactic bronchodilator
Why is it important for people with exercise induced asthma to have a proper warm up?
Ease in to minimize symptoms and avoid triggers
What are signs of an impending exercise induced asthma attack?
High increase in HR and increased use of accessory muscles
What does the Asthma Questionnaire assess?
Pt’s view of their abilities and QOL
What are methods for clearing airways with CF based Bronchiectasis?
Manual, HFCWO, PEP, positioning
What do you do to treat Bronchiectasis that is not CF based?
Some airway clearance, but will not need it as much
