Atunomic Function Test Part 2 Flashcards
1
Q
Phase II (continuous strain):
A
ABP decrease
Due to elevated intrathoracic &
abdominal pressure
impedes VR
Heart rate begins to increase
2
Q
Phase III (release):
A
ABP decrease further
Due to sudden ↓ in
intrathoracic
pressure
Heart rate Sustained ↑
3
Q
Phase IV (recovery):
A
Abp overshoot hypertension
Due to increased bro and co
Heart rate is reflex bradycardia
4
Q
autonomic dysfunction
A
during maintained forced expiration: there is progressive ↓ in ABP progressively with no ↑in HR
5
