Q

What to look for with a pacemaker range

A
  • note the low and high values
  • If high value is reached, will shock (defibrillation) to reset heart
  • stop PT if getting too close to high range.

24
Q

peripheral cyanosis

A

caused by decreased local circulation and increased extraction of O2 in peripheral tissues

discoloration regional

25
Q

facial expressions of distress, comfort, fatigue

A
  • nasal flaring
  • sweating
  • paleness
  • focused
  • enlarged pupils
26
Q

what to look for with effort of breathing

A
  • how much work is patient putting into breathing
  • how involved are accessory respiratory muscles?
  • movement of the lips
27
Q

pursed lip breathing

A
  • increases positive pressure in lungs to let stale air escape easier
  • this changes the pressure gradient
  • educate patient while hooked to pulse ox for quick results you can show them
28
Q

T/F: SCM muscles often hypertrophied in COPD cases

A

True

29
Q

JVD

A

high blood pressure backflows from the vena cava into the jugular vein

30
Q

Heart Sounds:

S1

A
  • “lub”
  • associated w/closure of mitral and tricuspid valves
  • onset of ventricular systole
31
Q

Heart Sounds:

S2

A
  • “dub”
  • associated w/closure of aortic and pulm valves
  • start of ventricular diastole
32
Q

Heart Sounds:

S3

A
  • 2nd dub
  • occurs early in diastole while ventricle is rapidly filling
  • often called ventricular gallop
  • CHF/fluid overload. fluid rushes in to hit ventricle wall
33
Q

T/F: S3 is considered normal when heard in a healthy child or young adult

A

True

34
Q

When s3 is auscultated in older, physically inactive person or in presence of heart disease:

A

indicates loss of ventricular compliance

35
Q

Heart Sounds:

S4

A
  • occurs late in diastole, just before S1
  • atrial gallop
  • associated w/increased resistance to ventricular filling
  • stiffness/hypertrophy during filling. Atria trying harder to push blood out against resistance
36
Q

Where all should you assess patient’s CV response

A
  1. rest
  2. sitting
  3. standing
  4. ADLs
  5. ambulation
37
Q

When assessing CV response, what all should you assess?

A
  1. HR
  2. BP
  3. Symptoms
  4. Heart rhythm (if possible)
  5. O2 saturations

evaluation is terminated if/when abnormal response is ID’d

38
Q

Abnormalities in response to functional/physiological demand

A
  1. rapid rise in HR w/workload
  2. very flat rate of rise
  3. decrease in HR
  4. SP > 250 mmHg
  5. change in DP > 10 mmHg
  6. change in O2 saturation
39
Q

O2 Desaturation

A
  • falls below 90%
40
Q

What exercises can help with desaturated patients?

A

LE exercises which utilize muscle pumps. Less taxing to CV system

41
Q

Rubor Dependency (+) results

A

deep red color after 30 seconds returning leg to dependent position

(also potentially if chalky when raised and then color doesn’t return or returns slowly in dependent position)

42
Q

ABI

> 0.9

A

normal

43
Q

ABI

0.5-1

A

claudication

pain in calf w/ambulation

44
Q

ABI

0.2-0.5

A

critical limb ischemia

  • atrophic changes
  • p! at rest
  • wounds
45
Q

ABI

< 0.2

A

severe ischemia

- gangrene/severe necrosis

46
Q

T/F: HR rises sharply in the 1st minute post exercise

A

False

HR drops sharply in 1st min post exercise. should recover by around 20 bpm after

47
Q

Pulse Ox considerations

A
  • peripheral circulation status
  • irregular HR
  • mishandling of equipment
48
Q

6 minute walk test

A

measures distance pt can quickly walk on flat, hard surface in 6 minutes

49
Q

6MWT procedure

A
  1. rest quietly for 10 min and collect resting physiologic measures
  2. walk
  3. stop
  4. recovery

take physiologic measures for each step

57
Q

Borg RPE scale:

Max exertion

A

Don’t work this hard!

58
Q

Physiological measurements pre/post 6MWT

A
  1. BP
  2. HR
  3. RR
59
Q

Physiological measurements during/post 6MWT

A
  1. RPE
  2. Rate of breathlessness
  3. Arterial O2 saturation
